What exactly do you mean > by that? I don't know what he means, but I know that instead of reporting itself according to the SCSI spec and showing up a a drive that exists and has removable media (and falling into the resource manager for insertion events, etc.), the ZIP comes with special Windows95 TSD's you have to load to make Windows95 recognize it. This is incredibly annoying, IMO, since none of the Windows95 autoconfig features will work correctly with the drive. Damn shame, really, since the Windows95 stuff is a lot better than what their TSD provides.
