Driver for the Iomega internal SCSI drives.
BASEDEV=IOMGDRV.FLT
TIP: There is no longer any reason to use these drivers unless you need to use the protect utility to password protect your disks. Better use the new OS2DASD.DMD
Advantages:
Works with any OS/2 supported SCSI card. Allows you to use multiple SCSI devices on your SCSI card. Compatible with the format that the disks come with from the factory (in non-fixed mode).
Disadvantages:
Slow, unless you use fixed mode. Fixed mode must be partitioned and, as such, all cartridges must be partitioned and will no longer work with DOS, Windows, or OS/2 not running with fixed mode drivers. In fixed mode, disks have to be unmounted and remounted using a utility before they can be ejected and after they have been reinserted. Needs HPFSRem to gain HPFS removability support.
Platform Support:
| OS/2 2.x | OS/2 3.0 | OS/2 4.0 | OS/2 4.5x |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
