Hi,

I have a SCSI zip drive, and cannot access PC cartridges with it.  I am
running PC Exchange 2.0.5 on a PowerMac 7500/100 with 32M RAM.  I have
Iomega Tools 4.2.1 and Iomega Driver 4.2.  I also have a parallel port
drive, and copied several files onto it from a PC, using a pre-formatted
PC cartridge.  I was able to copy successfully, and have been able access
the files, on the PP drive, from several different PCs.  When I put the
cartridge into the SCSI drive on my Mac, though, it ejects it
immediately.  I initially couldn't use Iomega Tools (I got an error - old
driver installed (???) ), but was able to after disabling RamDoubler. 
However, Iomega Tools just wants me to erase the cartridge and reformat as
a Mac cartridge.  If anyone can tell me what I need or am doing wrong,
please let me know.



Thank You,


Tim Walker
