Iomega Drivers
Iomega provides a driver loader program that allows you to load drivers from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Each time the Iomega driver program loads, it must also load an
ASPI manager to communicate with the Zip or Jaz drive. The Drive Image install program
copies a large set of ASPI managers to the DRIVERS directory for SCSI, IDE, and
parallel port interfaces.
The Iomega driver program tries to load each ASPI manager until it finds one that
matches. If it does not have to use this trial-and-error process to find the correct ASPI
manager, it can load more quickly.
Iomega has not provided a DOS driver for their Zip drives that attach to a USB (Universal
Serial Bus) port. Consequently, you cannot create or restore image files to a Zip drive that
is attached to a USB port.
You can access a document, "Using Drive Image with Iomega Removable Drivers," at the
PowerQuest support web site. Go to
support.powerquest.com
, and query "Iomega." This
document is available in English only. For additional information about Iomega drives,
refer to the install diskettes that came with your Iomega product or the Iomega web site

Editing Your GUEST.INI File
If you use only one or two specific host adapters, you may want to edit the GUEST.INI file
and remark (using the REM command) the ASPI managers you do not need. This way
only the ASPI managers you normally use will be loaded and tested.
1
From the DRIVERS directory where you installed Drive Image, locate the
GUEST.INI file and open it using Notepad in Windows, DOS EDIT, or any other
ASCII text editor.
2
Find the ASPI manager line for the Iomega driver that supports your drive. For
example, if you routinely use an Iomega PC1616 adapter, use the line that reads
ASPI=ASPI1616.SYS.
The following table lists the supported Iomega Adapters and their corresponding
ASPI managers.
Iomega Adapter ASPI Manager
Jaz jet PCI (PC/Mac model) ADVASPI.SYS
Jaz jet (PC-only model) ASPI8DOS.SYS
Jaz jet ISA ASPIPC16.SYS
