SYMPTOMS
========
After you install an Iomega Zip Drive connected to a parallel port, you find
that the physical drives in your computer are using MS-DOS Compatibility mode.
CAUSE
=====
The real-mode Guest.exe program supplied by Iomega is designed to allow you to
access the Zip Drive in MS-DOS and Windows 95, causing the drives to use MS-DOS
Compatibility mode.

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Add New Hardware icon.

3. Click Other Devices, and then click Next.
4. In the Manufacturers box, click Iomega, and then click Have Disk.
5. Install the files from the Windows 95 CD-ROM by inserting the CD-ROM in
the drive, typing the following line in the Copy Manufacturer's Files From
box, and then clicking Next
<drive>:\drivers\storage\iomega
where <drive> is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive.
6. After the files are copied, click Finish.
7. When you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
- Contact Iomega to inquire about obtaining a driver for the Zip Drive for use
in Windows 95.
