2414.0. "HiNote Ultra II, Port Replicator with NIC & IOMEGA ZIP: No Go" by HERON::BEAU (Will be fixed in next release !) Mon May 26 1997 07:58

Hi

I'm trying to setup my HiNote Ultra II with a IOMEGA ZIP Drive.
When the HiNote is disconnected from the Port Replicator with NIC, everything
works fine.
When connected to the Port Replicator with NIC, the IOMEGA ZIP becomes
unusable: slow, can't display/acess files, crashes the PC, hangs the PC,...
I'm running W95 and there is no conflict identified (IRQ, address, ...)

Help more than welcome.

Louis

	The NIC in the PR w/ NIC is a parallel port NIC. I suspect that there is just too much traffic for the system to sort out. I have found that even LapLink or Windows Direct Connection over the LPT port will not work with the PR/NIC. One suggestion would be to not connect the NIC and set the LPT port up as PS/2 Bidirectional instead of ECP. I haven't tried this myself. G'luck.
