I recently installed a Zip200 drive in my B&W G3. Initially this read and wrote on Zip100 discs which were written on the external Zip100 drive on my 6116; the Zip100 drive read these fine. But then the Zip200 drive started throwing up the message "This disk is unreadable. Do you wish to format it?". If I do format it, not the Zip100 drive throws up the same message.

Zip100 & Zip200 drives are compatible when using Zip100 discs, so the fact that one is a 100 and the other a 200 is not the problem.

This is the only way I have of transferring files etc between the two machines.

Ideas please?
