Excellent! This is wonderful news. I am leaving for my trip to Egypt and will try and check this while I am there. If not it will have to wait until I get back. Thanks so much for the information.

I spent a few hours searching boxes of old disks, etc. without finding one for the VST Zip Disk. I then remembered I still had the hard drive from a PowerBook that died, but which had used that drive. On that hard drive, I find not only the Iomega driver, but also a copy of the VST Zip Tools...including: Adobe Reader 3.01 installer Disk First Aid Disk Fit Pro Read Me Drive Setup Install Disk Fit Pro Iomega Installer System Folder VST Products.pdf VST Zip 100 ReadMe The total size of those files is 28.3megabytes...so this must have come on a cd-rom, not a disk. I’ll have to look through cdroms to see if I still have the original. VST seems to have disappeared, so I am not sure where you can find these files available now. That old PowerBook hard drive’s system folder has Iomega driver v 6.06 installed. I’m not sure what version gets installed by the installer that is part of those files. Or you might try Iomega Zip driver version 6.04 or 6.06 to see if those work for you. IomegaWare 4.02 is posted for download on their website...I’m not sure what version of their driver that includes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------ Forwarded Message From: Jack Countryman <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:53:33 -0400 To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Conversation: VST Zip 100 Drives Subject: Re: VST Zip 100 Drives I also have one of those VST Zip drive modules that fit the PowerBook 3400/3500, but had loaned out the PowerBook 3500 (G3/250) with that drive module and only got them back recently. From memory, there was a VST driver that came with the drive and which was used, rather than the Iomega zip drive driver to make those work. I haven’t found the disk with that driver...its quite possible it wasn’t returned to me with the powerbook. For now, I seem to have mine working (or at least recognizing its disks) by using the IomegaWare 1.1.3 Zip driver v 6.0.4. I’m not sure if any of the other extensions I have on the PowerBook are necessary for it to work or if there are other versions of the Iomega drivers that work.

However, I cannot get the drives to recognize a zip disk. I have installed the iomega software on the computers. Still does not recognize the zip. Is there another driver that I need to use? I have looked online but not been able to locate anything. Thanks!
