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
