     Section 1
     Tools Software for Iomega Drives
     
     Tools software is a complete package of software tools to
     help you manage all the stuff you use and create with your
     Zip or Jaz drive.  You will find the necessary Iomega Tools
     package for your system already set up on your computer. 
     For information on using your Tools software, check the help
     file for your system as listed below:

     Windows 95 Users:
     Open "Iomega Tools Help" from the "Iomega Tools" folder on
     your computer Desktop or Start Programs menu.

     Windows NT Users:
     Open "ToolsNT Help" from the "Iomega ToolsNT" program group.

     Users with Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups:
     Double click on the "Tools Help" icon that is located in
     your "Iomega Tools" program group.

     DOS Users (Windows not installed):
     Type REFMAN.EXE at the DOS prompt under the IOMEGA directory
     on drive C, then press the Enter key.


     ____________________________
     Section 1.1
     Reinstalling Iomega Software

     You should only need to reinstall your Iomega Tools package
     if the original software installation becomes corrupted in
     some way.  If your Tools software ever fails to operate
     correctly, you will need both the "tools" disk that came
     with your drive and the "Install" floppy diskette for your
     system in order to reinstall the software.

     IMPORTANT:  The "tools" disk included with your Iomega 
     drive contains installation files that you will need if you
     ever have to reinstall your Iomega Tools software, so be
     sure to keep the original files on the disk.  Do NOT
     reformat the "tools" disk or use it as the target disk for a
     backup.


     Section 1.1.1
     Installing Tools Software under Windows 95

       1. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive.

       2. Insert the Windows 95 "Install" floppy diskette into
          the computer's floppy drive.

       3. Open "My Computer" and double click on the floppy
          drive icon.

       4. Double click on the Install icon.

     NOTE: If you are unable to access the Zip Internal IDE
     drive, you need to reinstall two system files, ESDI_506.PDR
     and VOLTRACK.VXD, located in the Windows\System\Iosubsys
     directory.  Your original system setup includes updated
     versions of these files that support the Zip Internal IDE
     drive.  If the original files become lost or corrupted, you
     will need to obtain replacement copies from either Microsoft
     or your computer manufacturer.  Iomega is unable to provide
     these files because they are part of the copyrighted Windows
     95 operating system.


     Section 1.1.2
     Installing Tools Software under Windows NT

       1. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive.

       2. Insert the Windows NT "Install" floppy diskette into
          the computer's floppy drive.

       3. Run SetupNT.exe from the floppy diskette.


     Section 1.1.3
     Installing Tools Software under Windows 3.1 or 
     Windows for Workgroups

       1. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive.

       2. Insert the Windows/DOS "Install" floppy diskette into
          the computer's floppy drive.

       3. In the Windows Program Managers, select the "File" menu
          and choose "Run."

       4. In the Command Line box, type "a:install" if the
          Install floppy is in drive a: (or "b:install" if it is
          in drive b:), then click on "OK" or press the Enter
          key.

          NOTE: The Tools Setup program may need to restart
          Windows in order to complete the software installation
          process.


     Section 1.1.4
     Installing Iomega Software under DOS
     
       1. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive.

       2. Insert the Windows/DOS "Install" floppy diskette into
          the computer's floppy drive.

       3. At the DOS prompt, type "a:guest" if the Install floppy
          is in drive a: (or "b:guest" if it is in drive b:), and
          press Enter.

       4. Note the drive letter that Guest assigns to your Iomega 
          drive, then type "d:\dosstuff\install" (using the
          Iomega drive letter in place of "d:"), and press Enter.

       5. When the software installation is finished, reboot the
          computer.


     _________________________________________________________
     Section 1.2
     If your hard disk crashes ...

     In case of catastrophic failure of your hard disk, you can
     gain emergency access to your Iomega drive by booting the
     computer from a floppy system disk and then running
     GUEST.EXE from the "Install" floppy diskette that is
     included in the Iomega "Welcome" envelope.  If you have
     backed up your hard disk to Zip or Jaz disks, you can use
     this procedure to restore your hard disk from the Zip or Jaz
     backup.

     IMPORTANT: If your hard disk was damaged by a head crash, it
     may have to be reformatted before you can restore files. 
     Refer to the documentation for your computer's operating
     system for instructions. 

     VIRUS ALERT: Loss of data from the hard disk could indicate
     that your system was infected with a virus.  You should run
     an anti-virus program to check and, if necessary, repair
     your hard disk before attempting to restore any files.

     NOTE: Your computer manufacturer may have implemented a
     special disaster recovery procedure utilizing Iomega drives. 
     Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for
     instructions or contact your computer manufacturer. 
     

     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 2
     Using the Guest Program
     
     The Guest program allows you to use a portable Iomega drive
     on another computer without having to permanently install
     either an Iomega driver or Iomega Tools software.  There are
     versions of Guest for Windows 95, Windows 3.1/DOS and
     Macintosh systems:  

       *  For Windows 95, run Guest95 from the Windows/DOS
          Install diskette.  If you encounter any problems, see
          "Help for Guest95" on the Install diskette.

       *  For Windows 3.1/DOS systems, run GUEST.EXE from the
          Windows/DOS Install diskette.  Refer to the
          GUESTHLP.TXT file on the Install diskette for
          additional information on using GUEST.EXE with IBM-
          compatible PC's.
     
      *   For information on using Guest on Macintosh systems,
          refer to the GUESTHLP.TXT file on the Windows/DOS
          Install diskette.
     
     NOTE:  On Windows 3.1, DOS, or Macintosh systems, running
     the Guest program provides a temporary driver installation
     that is removed when the computer is shut down or restarted. 
     Running Guest95 permanently installs the drivers needed to
     support Iomega hardware under Windows 95.

     
     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 3
     Software Installation Troubleshooting
     
     Refer to the MANUAL.EXE file on the Windows/DOS Install
     diskette for software troubleshooting information on
     computers running Windows 95, Windows 3.1, and DOS.  Section
     4 in this Readme file contains detailed instructions on
     accessing MANUAL.EXE.

     Note for users of Adaptec EZ-SCSI:
     For information on using Iomega software and Adaptec EZ-SCSI
     on the same system, refer to "Special Information for Users
     of Adaptec EZ-SCSI" in Appendix A of MANUAL.EXE.
     
     
     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 4
     Electronic Manuals
     
     The Iomega software package for Windows/DOS includes two
     electronic manuals:

      *   The "Iomega Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) which
          contains complete installation and problem-solving
          information for Iomega software under Windows 95,
          Windows 3.1, and DOS.

      *   The "User's Reference Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) which
          contains reference information on Iomega SCSI software,
          including the Iomega Driver, configuration program, and
          Iomega SCSI Utilities.

     To access the Installation Manual, insert the Windows/DOS
     "Install" diskette in a floppy drive (the example below
     assumes drive A:), go to the DOS prompt, and type:
     
               A: <Enter>
               MANUAL <Enter>
     
     You can also run the Installation Manual from the Windows
     File Manager by selecting drive A: and double-clicking on
     MANUAL.EXE.  Under Windows 95, you can access the
     Installation Manual by double-clicking on the floppy drive
     in My Computer and then double-clicking on the "Manual"
     icon.
     


     _________________________________________________________
     Section 5
     Installing Iomega Drive Support on DOS-Only Systems
     
     Many of the application programs included in the Iomega
     Tools software package require Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. 
     If you do not have Windows on your computer, you can still
     use the Iomega drive, but you will not be able to use the
     Iomega Tools software that requires Windows.  This section
     describes the software support for Iomega drives available
     for DOS systems that do not have Windows.
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 5.1
     Iomega Driver for DOS
     
     Running the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on
     the "tools" disk installs Iomega SCSI software to support
     your Iomega drive.  The Iomega SCSI Driver installs as a
     device (SCSIDRVR.SYS) in the computer's CONFIG.SYS file, 
     and because of the way DOS handles drive letter assignments,
     this can shift your existing drive letters.
     
     Iomega software includes a TSR version of the Iomega
     Driver (GUEST.EXE) which will not cause any drive letter
     shifts when it is installed.  If you prefer using the TSR
     version of the Iomega Driver (GUEST.EXE), you can manually
     install it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Refer to the
     electronic Installation Manual (MANUAL.EXE) for manual
     installation instructions.  MANUAL.EXE also contains
     information on assigning specific drive letters with
     GUEST.EXE.  (See Section 4 in this file for detailed
     instructions on accessing the electronic manuals.)
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 5.2
     Iomega Tools under DOS
     
     Iomega SCSI software includes a set of utilities that run
     under DOS.  You can use these utilities to set software
     protection options on your Zip or Jaz disks, copy data to or 
     from Zip or Jaz disks, format Zip or Jaz disks, or lock the 
     Zip or Jaz drive so that you can install software to a disk.
     
     You can run the Utilities in an easy-to-use menu mode or
     from the DOS command line.  To start the utilities in menu
     mode, go to the DOS prompt for drive C: (the drive where
     your Iomega SCSI software is installed) and type:
     
                    cd \IOMEGA <Enter>
                    SCSIUTIL <Enter>
     
     If you need help running the Utilities, press <F1> anywhere
     in the Utilities.  


          
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 6
     Cautions

     Observe the following cautions if you are installing Iomega
     software for Windows 3.1 and/or DOS.
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 6.1
     DOS DISKCOPY
     
     CAUTION! 
     When used with removable disks (for example, Zip disks, Jaz
     disks, Bernoulli disks, etc.), DOS DISKCOPY does not create
     a copy of the source disk on the target disk.  DOS DISKCOPY
     executes as if copying data from the source to the target
     disk; however, after completion, the target disk is
     unreadable and must be reformatted.  Use an Iomega disk
     copying utility to copy disks (either Copy Machine or Iomega
     SCSI Disk Copy).


     ______________________________
     Section 6.2
     FDISK

     CAUTION! 
     Do not use FDISK on any removable disk.  FDISK is designed
     for partitioning fixed disks.  Partitioning any type of
     removable media can lead to unexpected results.
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 6.3
     Compression
     
     Stacker 4.0 works with removable disks supported by
     GUEST.EXE (for example, Zip disks); however, do not reboot
     when Stacker asks if you want to reboot to remove TSR's. 
     Rebooting removes the Guest driver and eliminates access to
     the Iomega drive.

     DoubleSpace and DriveSpace do not work with disks supported
     by GUEST.EXE, but they do work with the Iomega SCSI driver. 
     If you want to use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace to compress
     your Iomega disks or other removable disks, install the
     Iomega SCSI driver in your CONFIG.SYS file to support your
     removable drives.  Refer to the electronic "Installation
     Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) for detailed instructions on running
     the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on the 
     "tools" disk.  If you use Windows, also install your Iomega
     Tools software for Windows by running the Iomega Tools Setup
     program after installing Iomega SCSI.

     CAUTION! 
     If you are using a compression utility on a removable disk
     (for example, a Zip or Jaz disk), you should make that disk
     nonremovable (or lock the disk in the drive) whenever the
     compressed volume is mounted.  Removing a disk while the
     compressed volume is mounted could result in lost data.  To
     remove the disk, first unmount the compressed volume, then
     unlock the drive.  Refer to the electronic "User's Reference
     Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) for detailed information on locking and
     unlocking drives.
     
     CAUTION! 
     Do not use any disk compression software to compress
     removable boot disks.


     Iomega SCSI Utilities with Stacker 4.0
     
     When using Stacker 4.0 and Iomega SCSI, mounted, stacked
     drives will not appear on the graphical user interface
     screen for the Iomega SCSI Utilities.  In order to use an
     Iomega SCSI utility on a stacked drive, you must first
     unmount the drive.
     

     ______________________________
     Section 6.4
     Shifting Drive Letters
     
     The following caution applies only if you are installing Zip
     or Jaz support on a DOS-only system or if you choose to
     install the Iomega Driver, SCSIDRVR.SYS, in your CONFIG.SYS
     file.
     
     CAUTION! 
     Installing the Iomega SCSI driver may cause your drive
     letters (including network drives) to change.  This could
     affect Windows applications that reference existing drives. 
     Check your Windows groups and "ini" files.  For additional
     information, refer to "Relocating Drive Letters" in the
     electronic "Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE).


     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 7
     Pass-Through on the Parallel Port Zip Drive
     
     This section describes how to handle problems you may
     encounter when connecting printers or other parallel port
     devices to the pass-through connector on the Zip drive.


     ______________________________
     Section 7.1
     Printers
     
     The parallel port Zip drive supports most printers on the
     pass-through connector; however, some printers require
     exclusive use of the parallel port and will not work
     correctly when connected to the Zip pass-through.  Because
     these printers cannot share the parallel port, your system
     may stop responding if you attempt to use the printer and
     your Zip drive at the same time (for example, if you attempt
     to print a file from a Zip disk).

     If you are having problems with your printer when it is
     connected to the Zip pass-through connector, try the
     following:

       *  Try powering on your computer, printer, and Zip drive
          all at the same time by plugging them into the same
          power strip and applying power at the power strip.
     
       *  If you are using Windows 3.1, disable Disk Watch by
          removing it from your Windows Startup folder and then
          restarting Windows.  Disk Watch periodically wakes up
          the Zip drive and checks its status, which temporarily
          disables the Zip pass-through.

       *  Some Print Cache programs may conflict with the
          parallel port Zip drive.  If you have Print Cache on
          your system, disable the audio warning messages for
          both Windows and DOS using the reinstall procedure in
          the Print Cache manual.  (If you encounter problems
          reinstalling, please contact your Print Cache Software
          Technical Support.)

       *  If you have Microsoft Print System installed on your
          computer, try using it to disable bi-directional
          communication to the printer.  (Remove the check mark
          from the box next to "Use bi-directional
          communication.")

       *  Try setting your printer to "Print to File" whenever
          it's not in use.  This will enable you to use your Zip
          drive without problems as long as you are not printing. 
          When you want to print a file from your hard disk (or
          any disk other than a Zip disk), close any files that
          may be open on your Zip disk and return the printer
          setting to normal.  Do not attempt to access your Zip
          drive until the print job is completed and you have
          changed the printer setting back to "Print to File."

     If you are unable to use your printer and the Zip drive at
     the same time, the best solution is to add an additional
     parallel port to your computer, then use the Zip drive on
     one parallel port and your printer on the other.  Most
     computer stores carry simple I/O cards that let you easily
     add a new parallel port.  FarPoint Communications produces
     an I/O card which is fully compatible with the Zip drive and
     will improve your drive's performance.  (Information on this
     card is available from Iomega's Automated FAX Help system at
     (801)778-5763.)  Contact your computer dealer if you wish to
     purchase a card.


     ______________________________
     Section 7.2
     Other parallel port devices

     Parallel port devices other than printers may or may not
     work on the Zip pass-through connector.  This problem exists
     because computer parallel ports were not originally designed
     for devices other than printers.  If you try placing a
     device other than a printer on the Zip pass-through, or
     place the Zip drive on another device's pass-through, there
     are no guarantees that it will work correctly.  

     In the future there will be a standard for daisy-chaining
     devices on the parallel port; when this standard is
     implemented, Iomega will also conform to it.  In the mean
     time, try the suggestions listed under Section 7.1 for
     solving printer problems.  If your parallel port devices
     still do not operate correctly on the Zip pass-through
     connector, or the Zip drive does not operate correctly on
     their pass-through, you may want to think about adding an
     extra parallel port to your computer as described in
     Section 7.1.



     _________________________________________________________
     Section 8
     Optimizing Parallel Port Zip Drive Transfer Speed under DOS

     The parallel port model of the Zip drive supports three
     modes of data transfer which have different transfer speeds. 
     To ensure the broadest base of compatibility for the Zip
     drive, the Iomega installation software for DOS
     automatically uses the most compatible, but slowest,
     transfer mode.  In this mode, the transfer speed for the Zip
     drive is about 2MB to 6MB per minute, depending on the
     computer's processor speed.

     If the computer has a bi-directional parallel port, the Zip
     drive can be set to use a mode which provides data transfer
     speeds of 6MB to 17MB per minute, depending on the
     computer's processor speed.  (If you are not sure whether
     your computer has a bi-directional parallel port, refer to
     the owner's manual that came with your computer.)
     
     The fastest mode supported by the Zip drive requires a
     special "Enhanced Parallel Port" (EPP) chip set to be
     present on the host computer.  In this mode, the data
     transfer speed for the Zip drive is about 17MB to 22MB per
     minute, depending on the computer's processor speed. 
     Because of the variety of EPP chip sets, and because there
     are some chip sets that mimic a true EPP chip but do not
     support EPP transfers, not all systems with "EPP" can
     support this mode for the Zip drive.
     
     Iomega software for Zip includes a parallel port accelerator
     that can automatically set up both your computer and your
     Iomega software to use the fastest transfer mode for the Zip
     drive that is supported by your computer hardware.  Under
     Windows 95, you can run the parallel port accelerator by
     double-clicking on the icon in the Iomega Tools folder on
     your Start Programs menu.  For Windows 3.1, double click on
     the "Parallel Port Accelerator" icon in your Iomega Zip
     Tools Windows group.  

     Under DOS, run the OPTPPM1.EXE utility as follows:
     
     Step 1: If you have not already done so, install your Zip
     software package following the instructions in step 10 of
     the Zip Installation Guide.

     Step 2: Go to the DOS prompt for drive C: and type:

               cd \iomega <Enter>
               optppm1 <Enter>
     
     
     NOTE:  If you wish to restore the default settings on your
     system, run "OPTPPM1.EXE /NIBBLE" from the DOS prompt.

     Setting up a Jaz Boot Disk

     
     _____________________________
     Section 9.1         
     System Requirements for Booting 
     You can boot your computer from a Jaz disk if your system 
     meets the following conditions:

       *  The computer does not have an IDE hard drive installed
          as drive C.  (You cannot boot from a SCSI drive if an
          IDE drive is set up as drive C on the system unless the
          IDE drive is disabled in the system CMOS.)

       *  The Jaz drive is connected to a bootable host adapter
          (ROM enabled).  Check the adapter documentation for
          information on necessary switch or jumper settings.

       *  You have a compatible version of DOS, Windows, or
          Windows 95.


     _____________________________
     Section 9.2
     Jaz Boot Drive Options
     You can use the Jaz drive as the primary (only) boot device 
     for the computer or as a secondary (backup) boot device:

       *  Using the Jaz drive as the primary (only) boot device: 
          This procedure assumes that the computer does not have 
          a C drive and currently boots from a floppy disk.

       *  Using the Jaz drive as a secondary (backup) boot
          device: This procedure assumes that the computer
          currently boots from a fixed SCSI hard drive.


     _____________________________
     Section 9.3
     Setting Up the Jaz Drive as the Primary Boot Device

     If the computer does not currently have a hard drive, you
     can set up the Jaz "tools" disk to boot the system.  Note
     that the procedure in this section assumes that the computer
     does not have a C drive and currently boots from a floppy
     disk.  If you have access to a computer that has a hard
     drive, it is recommended that you use that computer to set
     up your Jaz boot disk (see the procedure in Section 9.4.1
     for detailed instructions on setting up a Jaz boot disk);
     this will allow you to avoid having to use the "tools" disk
     as your boot disk.

      1.  Make sure your Jaz drive is connected to a bootable
          host adapter and that the ROM BIOS on the adapter is
          correctly enabled.  (See the adapter documentation for
          specific instructions.)

      2.  Set the SCSI ID on the Jaz drive to 0.  (Some bootable
          SCSI adapters will only assign drive letter C to the
          device at SCSI ID 0, and DOS permits booting only from
          drives A and C.)

      3.  Turn on your Jaz drive and boot the computer from a
          floppy disk.

      4.  After the computer boots (A:> will appear on the
          screen), remove the boot floppy and insert the
          Windows/DOS Install diskette that came with your Jaz
          drive.

      5.  Type A:GUEST and press Enter.  This will load the Guest
          driver to provide access to the Jaz drive.  (Guest
          should assign drive letter C: to the Jaz drive.)

      6.  Insert the Jaz "tools" disk into the Jaz drive and run
          RECLAIM.EXE from the DOSSTUFF directory on the "tools"
          disk.  The Reclaim utility sets the DOS format on the
          "tools" disk, reclaims the Mac-formatted portion of the
          disk for use by the PC, and unprotects the disk so you
          can install to it.

      7.  Remove the "Install" diskette and reinsert your boot
          floppy.  Use the DOS SYS command to make the Jaz
          "tools" disk bootable.  To use the DOS SYS command,
          type A:SYS C: and press Enter.  (This will work only if
          your boot floppy contains a compatible version of
          MS-DOS.)

      8.  Remove the floppy boot disk and reboot the computer
          from the "tools" disk.

      9.  Install the operating system you plan to use (Windows
          95, DOS/Windows 3.1, or DOS only) to drive C: (the Jaz
          "tools" disk).

          IMPORTANT: Do NOT remove the "tools" disk from the
          drive until you have installed Iomega software as
          described in the next step.

     10.  Install the Iomega software package needed for your
          system as follows:

          Windows 95 Users:
          Run Setup95 from the W95STUFF directory on the "tools"
          disk to install Tools 95 software to the "tools" boot
          disk.  Note that Windows 95 will operate only in MS-DOS
          compatibility mode (Real mode) when the system is
          booted from a removable drive.  This is a Windows 95
          limitation for using a removable boot disk and is not
          affected by using Iomega Tools to make the Jaz disk
          nonremovable.

          DOS/Windows 3.1 Users:
          Run the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on
          the "tools" disk and select the "tools" disk as the
          target for installation.  After completing the Iomega
          SCSI installation, load Windows and run SETUP.EXE from
          the W31STUFF directory on the "tools" disk to install
          Jaz Tools software for Windows.  Make sure the target
          of installation is the "tools" disk.  When the software
          installation is complete, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on
          the "tools" disk and add the following line:

                    C:\IOMEGA\SCSIUTIL Lock c:         

          This will make the Jaz boot disk appear as a fixed
          disk, which is preferred for running Windows 3.1 and
          required for installing and/or running some Windows 3.1
          applications.

          DOS Only Users: 
          Run the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on
          the "tools" disk and select the "tools" disk as the
          target for installation.

     11.  Install any application programs you want to be able to
          run from the Jaz boot disk.

     12.  To boot the system after the computer has been turned
          off, turn on power to the Jaz drive and insert the
          "tools" boot disk; then turn on the computer.
     

     _____________________________
     Section 9.4
     Using the Jaz Drive as a Backup Boot Device

     If your computer is currently booting from a fixed SCSI hard
     drive, you can easily create a backup Jaz boot disk.  In
     case of some disaster to the primary boot drive, you can
     then boot from the Jaz disk and use it to restore the fixed
     SCSI disk.  The first procedure in this section describes
     how to create a bootable Jaz disk.  The second procedure
     describes how to set up the Jaz drive to boot the computer.


     _____________________________
     Section 9.4.1
     Creating a Jaz Backup Boot Disk

     This procedure assumes that the computer is currently
     booting from a SCSI hard drive and the operating system and
     appropriate Iomega software have already been installed on
     the primary boot drive. 

      1.  Prepare a blank Jaz disk using the Iomega Format tool
          with the "Copy System" option turned on.  This is the
          ideal way to place the basic system files on the disk.

          CAUTION!
          Do NOT format your Jaz "tools" disk as this will
          destroy your Iomega software installation files.

      2.  Install your current operating system (Windows 95,
          DOS/Windows 3.1, or DOS only) to the Jaz boot disk.

      3.  Back up your primary boot disk (C:) to the Jaz boot
          disk as follows:

          Windows 95 Users:
          RIGHT click on the Jaz drive icon in My Computer and
          select Copy Machine.  Use "Two Drive Copy" to copy C:
          to your Jaz drive.  Be sure to select "Don't Erase"
          files on the target disk before starting the copy.

          Windows 3.1 Users:
          Double click on the Copy Machine icon in your Iomega
          Jaz Tools group.  Use "Two Drive Copy" to copy C: to
          your Jaz drive.  Be sure to select "Don't Erase" files
          on the target disk before starting the copy.

          DOS Only Users:
          Use the Iomega SCSI Disk Copy Utility to copy all files
          on drive C: to the Jaz drive (D: in the following
          example).  Go to the DOS prompt for the IOMEGA
          directory on drive C: and run the command line:

                    SCSIUTIL Copy C: D: /A /V

          IMPORTANT: Use the drive letter for your Jaz drive in
          place of D: when using the Disk Copy command line.
          
          You can also run the Iomega SCSI Utilities in menu mode
          to carry out the copy.  Make sure you select the Append
          option before starting the copy.

     BACKUP NOTE for All Users:
     Repeat the appropriate procedure described in step 3
     regularly to keep your Jaz backup boot disk current.

     
     _____________________________
     Section 9.4.2
     Using the Jaz Boot Disk to Restore the Primary Boot Drive
     
     In case of disaster to your primary SCSI boot drive, use the 
     following procedure to boot the computer from your Jaz 
     backup boot disk and restore the fixed SCSI hard disk:

      1.  Make sure your Jaz drive is connected to a bootable
          host adapter and that the ROM BIOS on the adapter is
          correctly enabled.  (See the adapter documentation for
          specific instructions.)

          NOTE: If the fixed SCSI hard disk is connected to a
          different adapter than the Jaz drive, disable the ROM
          on the other adapter.

      2.  Set the SCSI ID on the Jaz drive to 0.  (Some bootable
          SCSI adapters will only assign drive letter C to the
          device at SCSI ID 0, and DOS permits booting only from
          drives A and C.)

          NOTE: If the fixed SCSI hard disk is connected to the
          same adapter as the Jaz drive, you must also change the
          SCSI ID on the fixed disk so that it is not 0.

      3.  Turn on power to the Jaz drive and insert the Jaz
          backup boot disk; then turn on the computer.

      4.  Reformat the fixed SCSI hard disk using your operating
          system's standard format procedure.  Be sure you select
          the option to copy the system files or make the disk
          bootable.

      5.  Restore files from your Jaz boot disk (C:) to the fixed
          SCSI hard disk as follows:

          Windows 95 Users:
          RIGHT click on the Jaz drive icon in My Computer and
          select Copy Machine.  Use "Two Drive Copy" to copy C:
          (your Jaz drive) to the fixed SCSI hard drive.  Be sure
          to select "Don't Erase" files on the target disk before
          starting the copy.

          Windows 3.1 Users:
          Double click on the Copy Machine icon in your Iomega
          Jaz Tools group.  Use "Two Drive Copy" to copy C: (your
          Jaz drive) to the fixed SCSI hard drive.  Be sure to
          select "Don't Erase" files on the target disk before
          starting the copy.

          DOS Only Users:
          Use the Iomega SCSI Disk Copy Utility to copy all files
          on drive C: (the Jaz drive) to the fixed SCSI hard
          drive (D: in the following example).  Go to the DOS
          prompt for the IOMEGA directory on drive C: and run the
          command line:

                    SCSIUTIL Copy C: D: /A /V

          IMPORTANT: Use the drive letter for your fixed SCSI
          hard drive in place of D: when using the Disk Copy
          command line.
          
          You can also run the Iomega SCSI Utilities in menu mode
          to carry out the copy.  Make sure you select the Append
          option before starting the copy.

      6.  Shut down the system and turn off power to the
          computer.  Restore your adapter ROM settings and disk
          drive SCSI ID settings to the configuration needed to
          boot from the fixed SCSI hard disk.
