But it would be just for the file ppaos2.add, and I'm not sure it would work with Warp3. Well, to start with you can give it a try.

I thought Iomega themselves had an OS/2 driver for the 100MB (but not the 250MB) // drive ? Checking their site, it seems they've removed all references to OS/2. Has the owner checked the CDs / Diskettes / Zip disk supplied with the drive ? If I remember correctly, Iomega used to supply tools and drivers on the zip disk supplied. Most people forgot to copy these important files off the drive before formatting it and using it for their own purposes ! Support for the IDE version is included in the standard IBM1S506.ADD (and Dani drivers), but parallel port devices are another matter. Cheers/2 Ed.

A bit like all those zillions of MS windows 95 boxes I guess! he came across my name as a contact for OS2 users group in Australia from some IBM site....! he tried to talk with IBM in Australia about his problem and they of course had absolutely no idea about OS2 and his problems!!! cheers Graham Ed Durrant wrote: > Parallel port Zip Drive ??

Of course, these drivers are of no use for a parallel Zipdrive. And I'm not even sure ppaos2.add will work in Warp3. Hope we'll get an answer soon. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 6 ==========================** Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 20:22:19 +0950 (CST) From: "Paul Smedley" Subject: Re: Help Not the most up to date version - but there is a version of the Parallel Port Zip Driver available from http://www7.software.ibm dot com/2bcprod.nsf/7a0f7f88639fc0c5862566b90018f4f9/aed8 1afa663de1e187256a0700725f39/$FILE/PPZIP.EXE The readme mentions installation on Warp 3 but also says that this version is a beta...
