IDE ZIP drive in DOS 6.0

**jraybone** · January 7th, 2010, 10:26 AM

At work we have an old 486 running DOS 6.0 that runs a specialized software that provides some important monitoring. Its all unique and cant readily be upgraded and we need to back it up somehow. Im gonna try an IDE zip drive but I cant no longer find the DOS drivers. Has anyone had some experience with ZIP drives in DOS that they can remember? Does anyone have old drivers layin around? Thanks folks.

I know I have some DOS drivers for ZIP drives somewhere at home. The problem is that I'm in Virginia, and my home is in Utah...

I would look on OMEGA's web site

You could always pop the drive out and slave it - copy it to another pc.

Iomega's website no longer hosts legacy software. If nobody has found drivers for you by the weekend, I can look when I get home on Saturday.

I thought of taking out the drive and slaving it, I wasn't sure if it would work bein so old, but I may still try it.

If ya got a little extra time when you get home, that would be very much appreciated if you have the old drivers.

Thanks again for your help folks
