- As far as I know, Mac formatted Zip disks still do not work in
- Executor with the parallel Zip drives. I have exchanged e-mail with
- Cliff about this, and he says it is something they plan to implement
- before 2.0 if possible.
-
- Though an ASPI driver will allow the parrallel drive to be treated as
- a SCSI drive, and while other mac-to-dos disk reading programs *are*
- able to transfer the files, Executor does not support parrallel drives
- yet. Note this is only a problem with parrallel drives. SCSI drives
- have been known to read Mac formatted media.
-
- If I am wrong, and if *anyone* has been successful in reading Mac
- formatted Zip media with a parrallel Zip drive, please let me know. I
- am particularily interested in seeing if anyone has been able to do
- this in Linux, now that the new experimental kernal, 1.3.76, supports
- parrallel Zip drives.
