Oh no! You've connected your new Zip 100 Plus drive to your Amiga and Squirrel Zip/Jaz Tools doesn't recognize it as a valid Zip drive! What do you do? A bit of hex surgery is needed. If you have an Iomega Zip 100 Plus drive, you can make Squirrel Zip and Jaz Tools work with it by making minor changes in two files. I'll make this as simple as possible. You will need a hex-editor or disk-zapper program. I use AZAP. First, write-protect and copy your JazInstall disk to a blank floppy. Don't modify the original install disk. Do all of your work on the copy. This way you won't lose the original files. Then, open your favorite disk-zapper or hex editor program and load the DoSCSIInquiry file. You can search for the ASCII string IOMEGA. You should find a string that says "IOMEGA ZIP 100" followed by some spaces (hex character 20). At an address around 0x0154, you insert the word PLUS after ZIP 100. Leave a space after 100. The new string should read "IOMEGA ZIP 100 PLUS" (without the quotes). Save the modified file and exit. We'll do the same kind of procedure with the file SquirrelJazTools, which is found in the Install directory. Open this file with your hex editor and search for IOMEGA. The first instance of this keyword is NOT the one we want, so keep searching. At an address around 0x00003954, you should find a string that reads "IOMEGA ZIP 100" just like above. (Using AZAP, the address is shown as follows: Addr: 0x00003800 Ofs: 0x154 Block: 000028 ). The procedure is the same. After the words "ZIP 100" type in the word PLUS, so the new string should read "IOMEGA ZIP 100 PLUS" (without the quotes). Save the modified file and exit. That's it. Using the modified JazInstall disk, install the software to your computer. The modified software will recognize the Zip 100 Plus as a valid Zip drive, and you're ready to go. PLEASE NOTE: The modified software will no longer recognize a normal Zip drive! That's why you need to make a copy of the original install disk. DO NOT MODIFY THE ORIGINAL DISK!
