IOMGDRV.FLT: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:22, 8 June 2019

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.
