New Zip and Jaz Cartridge Testing Tool!

Posted by: marciot on 2021-11-27 14:19:06 I don't know how many people use Iomega Zip or Jaz drives with their vintage Macs, but my latest project has been to port Steve Gibson's amazing Windows 95 Zip drive and cartridge testing utility, Trouble in Paradise, to the Macintosh. I now have a way to test the health of my Zip drives and cartridges right on my vintage Mac! You can read more about the project at https://github.com/marciot/mac-tip. I am trying to gauge interest in this, so please comment and star the project if you are interested! Check out the discussion forum if you would like to beta test this tool!
