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.

Today I dialed a wrong number....The other side said, "Hello?" and I said,
"Hello, could I speak to Joey?" They said," Uh, I don't think so...
He's only two months old." I said, "I'll wait..."
