Meaning you can't interchange them between 95 / mac ? (Linex / 95 > will work because they both accept the same FAT). I have never tried but.... Macintosh computers can generally read FAT formatted disks. I would bet that the Mac can read the "95" formatted disks but not vice versa as for linux... did you check what partition? I know when I use my Zip Drive (parallel port) it is "insmod ppa" to get it ready to use...then I find the disks are partitiond (try /dev/sda4 I think thats where mine are...asuming you don't have any other SCSI drives) -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H.
