I've just picked up a VST Zip 250 expansion bay for my Pismo. I don't remember reading about problems with these drives. However, mine has not been working perfectly.
It's supposed to be hot-swappable, but I cannot get 100MB or 250MB Zip disks to mount unless the machine is booted up with the expansion bay in there. I have no trouble hot swapping the factory CD/DVD unit. Is this a known problem?
