SUMMARY
The Iomega SCSI ZIP drives operates properly with most SCSI adapters listed in the Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Windows NT recognizes the ZIP drive as a removable media drive. Iomega does not provide any Windows NT drivers for Iomega SCSI drives; however, Iomega does have a Windows NT 3.51/4.0 driver available for its Jaz Jet Dual PCI SCSI controller card located on the Iomega WWW site at http://www.iomega.com.

The Iomega ZIP 100 data cartridge can hold up to 96 MB of data. The data cartridge comes preformatted for either IBM-compatible or Macintosh computers. You cannot re-format the pre-formatted cartridge for Macintosh computers for IBM-compatible computers without using either the Iomega ZipTools softare or a low-level formatting utility provided by the SCSI controller BIOS. The software is available for MS-DOS and Windows. The Iomega ZipTools software for Windows does not run under Windows NT.

For more information on the Iomega ZIP drives and Windows NT, refer to Document 1132 from the Iomega FaxBack service at (800) 456-5522 or (801) 778-5763, or contact Iomega Technical Support at (801) 629-7610.

There are Zip Tools for Windows 95 and for Windows NT. These can be downloaded from Iomega's WWW site at http://www.iomega.com.

The Iomega ZIP drives and cartridges are manufactured by Iomega Corp., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
