2416.0. "Iomega won't install" by CUJO::BEST () Tue May 27 1997 17:08

    I have tried to install my Iomega Zip software on my Hi Note 
    Ultra.  When the software starts looking for the drive it can't 
    find it and then Windows hangs.  Also I only have the modem card
    plugged in.  Has anyone had this problem.
    
    Thanks,
    Jim

2416.1Are you running a scanner software on the // port?HERON::BEAUWill be fixed in next release !Fri May 30 1997 04:2311
Jim,

	I had a similar problem. It was related to the fact that I had a
parallel port scanner (Logitech) software installed. Removing the scanner
software (that seems to allocate the parallel port before the ZIP drive can do
it) fixed it.

	Now the ZIP drive works fine except when I'm connected to the docking
station with NIC (see my entry in this Notesfile!).

2416.2Product limitationPCBUOA::GLANTZFri May 30 1997 13:3610
    For the VP510-575 and the HiNote Ultra II (and maybe other models as
    well -- we haven't tested the full gamut), the parallel interface
    version of the Zip drive will not function properly when connected to 
    the port replicator with NIC.
    
    There is confusion when both the Zip and the network share the same
    hardware.  There is no fix.
    
    But the Zip should always work when connected to the parallel port on
    the system itself or to the port replicator without NIC.
