Since you have a NCR controller and you managed to get your ZIP drive
to work OK, you should be able to help me... I finally got the DB-25
to SCSI-2 cable but now I'm "stuck" because my ZIP drive does not
accept any write operation. <g> Some of the ZIP Tools utilities cannot
see the ZIP drive as well. 

However, when I boot my computer, the ZIP drive is correctly detected
at ID 5 (CD-ROM with termination at ID 6). From DOS and Windows I can
access the ZIP drive normally, and the system treats it as a second
HD, but if I try to write I can an error. I have the following drivers
loaded:

	- MINICAM.SYS
	- ASPICAM.SYS
	- SCSIDISK.SYS (the only one I had to add because of the ZIP drive)
	- CDROM.SYS
	- MSCDEX.EXE

GUEST.EXE does not work: if I edit the GUEST.INI file and put
SCAN=OFF, it will detect no ZIP drive. If I "rem" the other ASPI lines
and add ASPI=ASPICAM.SYS, it apparently freezes, just like when I
tried to run GUEST.EXE for the first time (without any .INI editing).
The funny thing is: the ZIP drive is assigned a letter from the very
start (D:) by the controller's drivers. So even though GUEST.EXE
doesn't work, accessing the ZIP drive is not a problem. But right now
I have a 100 Meg CD-ROM. >:((

Can you tell me what should I add and remove, and what should I run?
What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!
