Please post them here. >Thank in advanced. The only real solution I've found is to buy an IOMega Zip-Zoom and use it. It's not 100% functional, as there is no OS/2 port of ZIP tools, but it's the best you're going to get under OS/2. Call IOMega and complain loudly to them about not supporting *STANDARD* SCSI. Maybe if enough people complain, they will release some ASPI drivers. -- ================================================================================ Mike Laster (lasterm@hpserv.utulsa.edu) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today I dialed a wrong number....The other side said, "Hello?" and I said, "Hello, could I speak to Joey?"
