Another question to the list; I am having Zip 100 disk issues in sharing between my Power Macintosh 8500/132 (400MHz G3 upgraded) and 233 MHz G3 All in One.
The 8500 has an external SCSI Zip 100 (ID 6), 448MB RAM and OS 9.1.
The 233MHz G3 has an internal ATAPI Zip 100 (ID 1), 288MB RAM and OS 9.2.2.
Both have IomegaWare 6.5 for OS 8x to 9x.
If I format the Zip disk on the 8500, the All in One will not read it, asking me if I want to initialize it, and vice versa, regardless if HFS, HFS+, ProDOS or MS-DOS are selected. Any ideas why either machine will not read the disks?
One or the other of the Zip drives is out of alignment. These old Zips are rapidly aging towards dangerous unreliability; I wouldn't trust irreplaceable data to them.
Will the 8500 read disks formatted in the AIO?
