Try the following mountlist on your Amiga [I didn't get software with mine;
just the drive]...just change "ZIPPC:" to whatever you want. Replace
"cybppc.device" with whatever your SCSI device is. And of course, change
"Unit = 6" to whatever unit number your Zip is. You'll be able to read
IBM-formatted Zips with this...in fact, just to keep yourself universal,
I'd suggest just using IBM Zips on your Amiga. That way you can just store
stuff without having to format a new Zip or copy files or anything...and
Macs have IBM-readability built-in.
