Windows 3.1/DOS issues BIOS/ CMOS Support It is recommended that BIOS support for the Zip ATAPI drive be disabled in the CMOS setup. On some systems with autodetection, it will be necessary to specifically turn off autodetection for the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Owner's Manual for your computer if you need more information. If you are unable to disable BIOS support for the Zip drive in the CMOS setup, you may encounter one of the following problems: • The computer hangs while booting after the Zip ATAPI drive is installed. • The Zip ATAPI drive does not appear on the system. Either of these problems indicates that the computer has an incompatible BIOS that does not correctly understand removable ATAPI drives. You may be able to solve the problem by obtaining an updated BIOS from the computer manufacturer. If an updated BIOS is not available, it may be possible to install the Zip ATAPI drive successfully using an IDE card. ATAPI CD-ROM's There may be a conflict when the Zip ATAPI drive is connected as a master with some ATAPI CD-ROM drives. If this occurs, the Zip ATAPI drive may appear as a hard drive or may not appear at all on the system. To solve the problem, connect the Zip ATAPI drive as a slave drive on either the primary or secondary IDE channel. Inserting Zip Disks Computer power should be ON before a disk is inserted into the Zip drive. If a Zip disk is inserted while the computer is without power, it may fail to seat properly and will not spin up and acquire correctly. This is documented for end-users in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. 32-bit Access When using Copy Machine in Windows 3.11 or Windows for Workgroups, turn off 32-bit disk and/or file access. (This option is available when changing virtual memory options under 386 Enhanced in the Windows Control Panel.) If 32-bit access is not turned off, the hard drive will not appear for selection in the Copy Machine window. 18
