ZIP in DOS

I could not get an Iomega ZIP Drive to work in my machine until I
installed WIN98 2nd edition.
Find someone who has sucessfully installed this hardware on a dos
machine, or keep your receipt. I don't think Iomega is supporting
anything but the newest operating systems.
I am going to get me some removable hard drive bays (12-16 bucks
each). This may be a cheap way to transfer large amounts of data to an
old machine (without a network).
There may be an issue with the FAT communicating between 16 and 32 I
don't know. ( I would bring everything up to FAT32 anyway) But I have
about four 250-500mb hard drives laying around that nobody would give
you spit for.
As long as you are doing internal file transfer and not accepting
disks from a customer or something like that.
One possible Solution.
I'm Spent.
