Hi Mark, Why not just incorporate a CD-RW? If you get one that includes ROXIO easy cd creator, you can "format" a CD-RW as a BIG floppy. Roxio works at the O/S level to make this look just like a regular hard drive, so you just access it as you would any other drive by making a pointer to point at it and viola. I have one on my U2PE and it works wonderfully. Cheap, fast and reusable 600 megabyte floppies. You just GOT to love it!
I can't comment on the zip drive as I've never used one, but if it works at the DOS level as a hard drive works, then there should be no problem in using it from D3. Just pointer at it and let it rip.

I would like to know if there's a similar forum for D3. Here goes anyway: I would like to incorporate a Zip Drive as a Pseudo Floppy on a W2K D3 system that I'm building. Does the presence of it on the Windows side automatically include it as on the D3 side. I know I'm weak in these mechanics as I'm basically a programmer. But I want to upgrade my own native system to D3 to better support my clients and I don't want to spend $500 just for a 4mm tape. I'm not interested in any PC-U2 items as that's a whole other world for me. Thanks in advance.
