>>If you're trying to compare MacOS PnP to Microsoft's, you _really_ don't
have a clue. MacOS PnP _works_. Win3.1 doesn't even have it and Win95
works some percentage (<< 100%) of the time.<<

I'll agree that the Mac PnP is very functional, but... erm... why then
does the ZIP drive require a Mac-Install Disk? For the SCSI version? The
ZIP on my Amiga (obviously with no Amiga specific installer) plugged in
and worked! Turn on the HD prep utility to prep the disks, and format 'em.
That's it. 

What exactly does the Installer Disk install to a Mac? Is it necessary for
operation?
