That helped a lot. Unfortunately it ruled out the problem that I was
expecting. I now don't see any reason why Executor/DOS shouldn't be
able to read and write to a SCSI zip drive, assuming that the PC has a
SCSI port and either supports BIOS calls to read and write SCSI drives
or has ASPI drivers. Ziv Arazi was the first person to report this
problem and I believe that Ziv has used other Mac formatted SCSI
drives with Executor.
There is no support for the Parallel port version of the Zip drive,
but as far as I can see the format of a Mac zip diskette (at least the
format of *Elan's* Mac zip diskette) is the same format that we're
handling in other cases. ARDI now has to go back to the drawing board
on this one. I think the only solution will be to buy one, which
isn't something we can do for another couple of weeks.
