Try the syquest drivers. I'm using them successfully to read from my zip
drive (can't write to it yet though because I don't have dos installed and
can't figure out how to otherwise un-write protect the only disk I have
which is the tools disk - any hints? can I do it form a dos bootdisk?).
Only problem with the syquest drivers is that it puts the zip drive as a
second primary partition instead of as the last drive letter which means
you get things shuffled a bit which is especially bad if your os/2 partition
is logical. For me though, I only have one partition on my laptop's puny
drive so things worked out fine...
