Hello,

I've got a problem with my iomega 100 external scsi zip drive.
When inserting one medium it's no problem to read it. But when I change
the medium I still got the file list of the first medium shown in the
explorer.
I tried the refresh button of the explorer but this don't work.
I installed the latest driver from the iomega page and the setup told me
that
everything went well?

Any ideas?

Thx in advance,

Cnut

P.S.: If this is the wrong forum, please excuse me and tell me, which is
the right one. Thanks.

What version of the IomegaWare software is installed (not just an NT4 driver) ?
What SCSI controller are you using ?

BTW: On rare occasions I have seen this with floppy disks.

Hi David,

thanks for the fast reply :-)

According to the iomega page it is version 3.1 from the 18th October 2001.

If've got no experience with SCSI devices, but I think it is from Adaptec,
AHA 2940 AU. I hope this gives some support.

Since the problem occured on a machine of a co-worker, who is out of office, I'm
not
able to check more details right now. So it's ok, when I got the problem fixed
until
Wednesday.

Thanks a lot,

Cnut

Cnut:

There is an updated version for NT4 at URL:
http://www.iomega.com/software/ioware311pc.html

Make sure the BIOS of the SCSI controller (hit 'Ctrl A upon boot during POST)
does not have a setting (paraprased because I can't remember exact text) "make
removeable disk appear as fixed disk"

Also, make sure you have the latest ASPI for SCSI installed and 2940 controller
drivers for NT4 installed.

That's all I can think of right now...

Post back findings and results.

Dave

Hi David,

sorry for being late with my answer.

Thanks for this advice. I installed it and now everything works fine.
Now my college is able to eject the medium with the eject function of
the explorer.

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,

Cnut
