General Diagnostics

-------------------

Before answering the questions below, be sure that the Zip drive is

connected and plugged in. Then, after you have tried to install the

driver and Tools software, check the items below.

NOTE: EPSON Zip drives are compatible with most SCSI controllers.

However, the SCSI adapter must have an ASPI, or 100%-compatible

device driver. If you do not have an ASPI device manager, contact

the adapter manufacturer for more information. If an ASPI device

manager is not available for this model SCSI adapter, use another

SCSI adapter for full compatibility.

If the controller is fully compatible, continue with the

troubleshooting checklist below:

If the Green Power light on the front of the drive is lit, check the

items below:

1. Check the data cable.

2. Make sure the Zip drive is connected to a SCSI controller

connector (not the parallel port), or to a SCSI connector in a chain

with other devices.

3. Try reconnecting the cable, and make sure that all connections

are secure.

Q: Is your Zip drive attached to an ASPI-compatible SCSI adapter?

If so:

1. Reboot the computer.

2. Insert the EPSON Zip Install diskette, and type a:guest info and

press Enter at the MS-DOS prompt.

Q: Is the Zip drive assigned a drive letter?

If your answer to the question above was [Yes], can you read the Zip

Tools disk?

If Yes: Run Setup again. If it runs successfully, the Tools are

installed and ready to run.

If No: The SCSI controller may have an incompatible ASPI driver. Try

the drive with another SCSI adapter.

Q: If the Zip drive was not assigned a drive letter, are you using an

ASPI-compatible controller?
