What is the DOSDriver mountfile for reading and writing PC Zip disks?

Open a text editor such as BED and type the following:

* Disk Size: 96.0 Meg

* Vendor and drive name: 005 IOMEGA ZIP 100

*/

/* Disk size parameters.*/

Surfaces = 1

BlocksPerTrack = 1

Lowcyl = 0

Highcyl = 196607

BufMemType = 1

Blocksize = 512

/* Device driver parameters.*/

Device = oktagon.device

Unit = 5

Flags = 0x00000000

/* File system parameters.*/

Mask = 0x7FFFFFFE

Maxtransfer = 0x00100000

Reserved = 4

Filesystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem

Stacksize = 2000

Priority = 5

Bootpri = -20

Globvec = -1

Buffers = 5

Dostype = 0x4d534800

Mount = 1

Now save the file as ZIPC, or something similar, in the DEVS:DOSDrivers and copy an icon from the PC0 driver onto the ZIPC file. If you now reboot the machine you should be able to mount PC Zip disks.
