The Removable Media FAQ
By: Leon Grossman (lgrossm@ceatlabs.okstate.edu)
Second revision October 19, 1996
First revision October 11, 1996
Initial release - October 9, 1996
Changed sections are marked with ***
There have been a lot of questions about removable media and OS/2 lately.
Especially the Zip and EZ drives Unfortunately, IBM elected not to provide
removable drive support in OS/2 Warp v4. This means that you have to find
your own drivers for your drive and HPFS was not modified to accommodate
removable media. This FAQ is an attempt to answer some of those questions.
Note: some of this information was gleaned from the USENET over a period
of months and some of it (some of the Zip drive info) is from my personal
experience. I welcome comments, suggestions, techniques, useful hints,
corrections, etc. Please send comments to lgrossm@ceatlabs.okstate.edu
The latest version of this FAQ can be obtained by
email: to lgrossm@ceatlabs.okstate.edu with "Send me the Zip-FAQ" in the
subject line (without the quotes).
