SUMMARY
=======

The Iomega SCSI ZIP drives operates properly with most SCSI adapters listed in
the Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Windows NT recognizes the ZIP
drive as a removable media drive. Iomega does not provide any Windows NT drivers
for Iomega SCSI drives; however, Iomega does have a Windows NT 3.51/4.0 driver
available for its Jaz Jet Dual PCI SCSI controller card located on the Iomega
WWW site at http://www.iomega.com.

The Iomega ZIP 100 data cartridge can hold up to 96 MB of data. The data
cartridge comes preformatted for either IBM-compatible or Macintosh computers.
You cannot re-format the pre-formatted cartridge for Macintosh computers for
IBM-compatible computers without using either the Iomega ZipTools softare or a
low-level formatting utility provided by the SCSI controller BIOS. The software
is available for MS-DOS and Windows. The Iomega ZipTools software for Windows
does not run under Windows NT.

There are Zip Tools for Windows 95 and for Windows NT. These can be downloaded

independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
