You don't need any drivers, the Zip100 IDE works out-of-the-box in Windows 98.

Try GUEST.EXE in plain DOS. If that doesn't work, there's something wrong with the drive. (there's a Guest95 for Win9x as well, but test DOS first)

I find these drives are pretty resilient - Indeed I've had about 10 go through my hands recently (two external LPT, one external USB, one SCSI internal, and the rest were IDE internal) and only one was broken internally - there's a solenoid/transformer release in there, and it actually melted the load mechanism.

Try a clean boot and get a copy of GUEST.EXE though, as mentioned above.

Will do thanks!

If you want, I can dropbox you the files off the original CDROM I've used to get each and every one of my ZIP disks to work. I know it will work in 95 and 98. Let me know in a PM and I'll send you a link.

*Edit I just used it on a 486DLC with SCSI on it.

I actually ended up poping it in GA-6bxc rev 1.7 mobo and it works great with fresh install of windows 98 se. id still love to have the driver in my driver collection so feel free to pm it to me, thanks btw!

I just found this forum and this older post. I could use these files as well if they are still available. Thanks for any help or reply, Ernie
