MOD 22226 Power Macintosh G3 & Finding Iomega Zip Driver on CD
I have a new Power Macintosh G3 desktop 300-MHz with an Iomega Zip drive. I need to reinstall (install) the Iomega Driver extension from the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop and Mintower Computers Software Install or Restore CD-ROM disc. I checked the Iomega Tools folder in the CD Extras folder on the CD-ROM disc and the Iomega driver is not there. I do not want to reinstall my whole Mac OS just to get this software.
Where can I find the Iomega Driver extension on the CD-ROM disc?
