You could make the other folks get CD drives?

You don't need drivers for the internal unit. If it is attached to the ATAPI channel (IDE connector, same as the hard drive) just jumper it as either master, or slave, and plug it in. The BIOS should detect it, and everything should be hunky dory. The "drivers" they distribute with it are mostly utilities (backup, restore, drive icons, etc.) and are pretty much useless. The internal should work right out of the box, with no drivers.

Quoted: I can send a blank zip disk for them to be copied to if anyone is willing? Dont think you need drivers, and if you did, how would you use the disk they are on if you didnt have the drivers for your device to work in the first place? |

It supposedly requires a floppy which 'boots' the device and then you use the zip. I would've asked whoever willing to copy me both disk. The drivers are available via the 'net but I don't want to go through the lengthy download as I have a std. modem. I'm going to try Gloftoe's method first and see if it works. |

I have used many IDE and SCSI zip drives and have never needed drivers for any OS after win 98.

Kevin,
You're referring to the old "Guest" drivers for the parallel model. None of the internal models require drivers, BUT the drivers will add the special features, etc. I could burn a CD for you and send it, I suppose. IM me. -Troy |

Troy hit the nail on the head. In the old days of parallel, you needed software that says, "hey, there's a zip drive on the parallel prt."
If it's still not showing up, even with the proper master/ slave configuration, check the BIOS. Sometimes all IDE channels are set to AUTO, but from my experience with Dell and Gateway, they leave unused channels disabled in BIOS. You have to go in there and tell the pc something is connected to that channel. |

I install those things everyday. I can send you the original package if Troy's idea doesnt pan out.
