I have a external Parallel port Zip100 drive i want to get working in dos.
I have tryed the drivers below...

"Autorun" locks up and won't do anything. I have tryed running EACH .SYS in the archive files one at a time in my config to set it up manually... (none work)

"Guest" says "looking for a drive letter for you iomega drive"... and never does. I presume that's cos a driver it needs isn't loaded.

I have try this... Iomega Parallel Zip100 drive driver for DOS?

I have made sure the printer port is all enabled etc in the BIOS / DOS.

More things i have noticed....

"Iomega ZIP DOS drivers" iodrv-dos-x86-10.rar is the same file as in here....
"Iomega Driver files for *external* USB/SCSI/Parallel ZIp Drives - DOS 1.0, W95+NT4 v3.06, W98+ME+W2k/XP v4.03" zipdrivers.rar

"Iomega DOS Tools v5.51" dos_551.exe Is for the JAZ SCSI version... (Not ZIP drives)

Small update. Drive works in win 98 SE with the 98 driver in here.... "Iomega Driver files for *external* USB/SCSI/Parallel ZIp Drives - DOS 1.0, W95+NT4 v3.06, W98+ME+W2k/XP v4.03" But the DOS driver in there refuses to work / install.

Thanks,
T.

GuestDOS does not need a driver to be loaded - I remember using my LPT ZIP drive at my friends PCs without having to edit config.sys/autoexec.bat, I just ran the binary from a floppy and a new drive letter appeared.
