I have a frustrating problem I am unable to solve.
I have a Wallstreet 233 (w /cache) OS 9.2.2. I had supplied with it a floppy which I use in LH bay and the CD rom in the RH side, both of these perform OK. As the floppy has its limitations regarding backup etc I decided to add a Iomega(VST) 100 Mb zip drive. Before I got around to trying to use it an MCE CDRW for the Wallstreet became available for me to buy, so I went for it.
So now I have the Zip to go in the LH and the CDRW to go in the RH, correct you may say, unfortunately the Wallstreet does not want to know.
With the zip inserted and the WS booted it freezes when the Iomega icon appears during its boot up stage. The only option is to restart and quickly remove the Zip then it boots OK. If I turn off all the Iomega extensions then proceed as above it freezes when trying to launch the Desktop.
As for the CDRW no problem there regarding booting to the desktop, but when any media is inserted ie: a programme installation disc, it rotates in to life then stops with out launching the disc Icon on to the desktop.
I tried boot from a Norton disc with the Zip in and it boots to the desktop. With media inserted I requested to find missing disc and it did so. Unfortunately this is not possible with the CDRW as you need the drive in order to run the Norton disc.
Do I need any new drivers in order to use the drives or are there just conflicts which need to be sorted. If the former a visit to the respective sites should resolve this, if the latter where should I be looking to find the conflicts. Is the zip problem with it being a VST model not Iomega as the internal is an Iomega drive.
Your ideas would be most appreciated
