All ,

I need specific info for the exact URL and file names to get drivers for OS/2
for:

Iomega Internal SCSI ZIP drive

Syquest SparQ1.0 parallel drive

I'm trying to find those for Linda Proulx, before I send her a CD of OS/2
ShareWare and other OS/2 apps.

After several hours of searching the net, this is what I have accumulated:

 The Single Install Diskette contains the software required to install your
 SyQuest drive using the drivers and utilities found on your SyQuest
 Starter Cartridge. This is EXACTLY THE SAME as the Install Diskette
 that came with your drive. It does not update the drivers and utilities to
 the latest released version.

As you can see above there are drivers for the Iomega ZIP ATA and USB
available from IBM.  But no other removable media drivers are available from
that famous Device Driver Pak web site, AFAIK.  That doesn't totally rule out
Iomega, later if their server works better than it did this morning.  But
don't get your hopes up about that.  I bypassed their search and in spite of
OS/2 being an option in their search page, the actual full list of drivers did
not include any OS/2 drivers.  My recommendation to Linda was to write E-Mail
to Iomega at info@iomega.com.

Likewise AFAIK Syquest does not have any OS/2 drivers for the parallel Sparq,
although they do have OS/2 drivers for the SyJet.  Again my recommendation to
Linda was to write E-Mail to Syquest at info@syquest.com 

BTW, some of the info I found implied that Warp4 (no mention of Warp3) with a
fairly recent FixPak might have updated DASD* stuff to support removable media
drives, without any additional special drivers.

Does anyone have specific info about either of those 2 drives and OS/2
drivers (file name and exact URL)?

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
