Emax

My 250MB USB ZIP drive can perfectly read and write 100MB formatted Emax-II ZIP disks (with EMXP).
What exactly is happening in your set up ? Is the USB ZIP drive spontanously ejecting 100MB disks even before you try to use any software with them ?

I don't know if it's common, but I have a 250MB USB zip that I intended to use with XP and an Emax II but it just spits out 100MB emax formatted zips the moment it starts reading them.  I haven't got a 250MB scsi one so I can't tell of it would accept 250MB emax formatted disks.  I now use an IDE zip on the XP side that works fine, but obviously that's no use on a MBP.
