TOPIC

    I have Power Macintosh G3 computer with an internal ATAPI Zip drive. Apple System Profiler version 1.3.2 will see the internal hard drive and two CD-ROM drives (I only have one) but not the Zip drive. Is there a workaround or fix?

DISCUSSION

    All Power Macintosh G3 Desktop, Minitower, All-In-One, and Server computers that ship with Mac OS 8.1 ship with Apple System Profiler (ASP) 1.3.2. An issue has been identified that prevents this version of ASP from seeing the ATAPI Zip drive. Instead, it incorrectly identifies the Zip drive as a second ATAPI CD-ROM drive.

    This issue has been corrected in later versions of Apple System Profiler following version 2.0.1. Refer to Apple Software Updates Web site at http://www.apple.com/swupdates for later versions of Apple System Profiler.

    All Power Macintosh G3 Desktop, Minitower, All-In-One, and Server users with an ATAPI Zip drive should use Iomega Driver version 6.0 or later which is pre-installed by Apple. You may also download Iomega Tools 6.0 or later for Macintosh/Power Macintosh at Iomega's web site at, http://www.iomega.com/ .
