Greetings. I've been encountering some weirdness trying to use an external Zip drive with my Dual USB 500MHz iBook, running OSX (10.1.3). The Zip icon mounts, I can usually copy files to the drive (a folder or two at a time). But then I encounter problems when I want to 1) copy a batch of folders at once, 2) empty trashed items from the Zip, or even occasionally 3) when I try to open other applications while the Zip is attached (and a Zip is mounted). The Finder hangs (beach ball spinning forever). When I try to Force Quit the Finder and relaunch, it appears to quit but it won't relaunch. I then have to force a restart because everything is now frozen. I never have this problem when I'm not working with the Zip. Any ideas what's happening? Solutions?
