- Ah, but there is!
- Included on the setup disk for your zip drive is a ASPI driver for the =
- parallael prot zip.
-
- I believe it is acalled ASPIPPA3.SYS and can be loaded in the config.sys
- The guest.exe driver that you use to set up your zip drive actually uses =
- this driver if you are not scsi. This driver will also work with the =
- Iomega Parallel port Zip interface. Question? Can the IOMEGA Mac Zip =
- Tools run under executor?

- It might be possible for someone to kludge an ASPI driver for the

- anyone has done such a thing, nor do I think anyone is planning on it.
