fat32 in OS9?

[MadSkillzMan]

hey guys i was given a wallstreet awhile back, but no floppy, no USB (for my ipod/flash drives)

i do have an old paralell zip drive however, and i dont see why i couldnt just hook that upp for removable storage

however, is there a way i can use the FAT32 FS in os9?

Also i have a paralell to USB adaptor from epson, but it works on other simple things...think itd work on this?

it does suffer somewhat the click of death, which i do recall how to remove with a screwdriver

thanks in advance.

I seem to recall that OS9 could read FAT 32 discs, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm pretty sure it can, too.

How are you going to use the Parellel to USB adapter? there is neither a parellel nor USB port on the Wallstreet. There is serial, ADB, and SCSI IIRC. If the parellel to USB adapter works you could use a USB cardbus (PCMCIA) card to add USB ports. You can probably get an external SCSI zip drive pretty cheap on ebay... or for that matter VST made an expansion bay zip drive and you can get expansion bay floppy drives as well.

good luck.
