* Purpose
---------

Enables Iomega Zip 250 MB (SCSI of course) (PC formatted) usage on AMIGAs.
Does not recognize automatically between 100 and 250MB disks. To use 100MB
disks with the Zip250 drive, simply use/mount the good old PZ0C mount-list
(also included in this archive).

* Requirements
--------------

- an AMIGA :-)
- OS 3.1 or higher
- an SCSI Adapter
- an Iomega Zip250 SCSI drive
- a Zip 250MB disk
- the mount-file and icon of this archive

* Installation
--------------

- Copy the mount files and icons to your Sys:Storage/DOSDrivers directory
  or Sys:Devs/DOSDrivers if you want them to be mounted at startup.
- Edit the Lines:
  DEVICE = your_SCSI_adapter.device
  UNIT   = 5 or 6, check the switch on your Zip250 drive
- Edit the same lines in the icons...


* Test Machine
--------------

- AMIGA 4000
- Cyberstorm MKII 060
- Cyberstorm SCSI Adapter
- Oktagon 2008 SCSI Adapter
- Kick 3.1
- OS 3.5
- 82 MB RAM
- etc...

* History
---------

- V 1.957:      first public release (27.FEB.2000)

As I was looking for a cool way of exchanging large files between my AMIGA
at home and the PC at my office, I thought that the new Iomega Zip250 would
be a good idea. But as I was not sure that the AMIGA could handle Zip250
drives I waited till the "AMIGA special" (German) magazine published in their
June/July '99 edition a first report, including the needed mount-file.

So I bought the Zip250 SCSI extern drive, but unfortunately the published
mount-file from "AMIGA special" did not function at all !!!
So I had to build one myself...

The needed technical information were found at/with:
- www.iomega.com
- CyberStorm SCSI Tool Disk 2.1 from Phase5
- AmigaDos Book from good old Commodore
