So, I have a bunch of 100mb zip disks that i use for my drum machine (mpc2000xl) and i just got a 250 mb usb zip drive.
i can't get os X to mount it on the desktop. it IS recognized by system profiler as an iomega zip drive, but, as i said, it will not mount, regardless of what type of disk i put in it (and it won't eject them either, i have to manually eject them with a straightened paper clip)
i talked to one guy who said that he uses one... so it is compatible, in theory.
my hope is that i can find someone familiar enough with console to tell me how to force mount a usb device to the desktop so i can manipulate the drive, format disks, etc.
if anyone has any ideas or can direct me somewhere else i'd really appreciate, i've been racking my brain on this.
