Iomega’s Zip and Jazz Drives are supported by the Solaris 8 volume manager. For example, with a ATAPI Zip100 or Zip250 drive, run “volcheck” and it gets mounted as /rmdisk/zip0 If that doesn’t work, see if you can mount it manually (if DOS formatted). For example: # Master on second ATAPI controller: /usr/sbin/mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0:c /mnt # Slave on first ATAPI controller: /usr/sbin/mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:d /mnt For Solaris 7 and older, Iomega has instructions on how to install and use them at http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/2019.html The hardware installation is the same as for MS DOS/Windows systems. Once installed, use the “mount” command to access the drives. See the question below on mounting DOS filesystems. Note that external drives with the parallel port connection are not supported. This requires a specialized driver.
