Emax

just too be double sure, i checked the zip drive with the pc as a normal drive and it seems to work fine.  on my pc the zip drive is C.  my hd is sata so there shouldnt be any conflict there i would imagine.  I put in a zip disk that i made with the usb drive and tested in my eiiix and it worked.

in emxp it says:

ERROR!
Errorcode 104

content of disk in drive c is not compatible with emax/emuIII (subcode 7)

and this pops up if i try to manage or view contents.

hope this helps!

thanks.

Mmm... strange.

But I have to admit that I never tested EMXP with an internal IDE ZIP drive. 
It was tested with a parallel port version (100MB) and a USB version (250MB). But EMXP is not really aware of the kind of communication bus (IDE,ATAPI,SCSI,USB,...) used when accessing (removable) hard disks or cdrom drives. It should accept any drive which has a drive letter assigned by Windows. 
E.g. memory card drives (internal or USB) are also accepted by EMXP.

What error was raised by EMXP when you tried to access the IDE ZIP drive ? Perhaps I can have a look at the drive access source code...
