Automount SCSI Zip drive

MikeA3000 · 15 December 2018, 02:00

I have an attached external SCSI Zip drive to an A3000, I can mount it using SCSIMounter with no issues. I have Amiga formatted disks, not interested in mounting PC formatted Zip disks.
Is there a way to modify my startup-sequence to automount the Zip drive without having to rerun the SCSIMounter program after a reboot? Other than restarting the SCSImounter the drive is working and I can read/write to the drive. It would be nice to have it mounted automatically at startup any suggestions?

Do not create partitions on your ZIP disks but use a mount list / dos driver to make them big floppy disks.

I made them one full size partition, but how do I use a mount list /dos driver? Will this auto mount the drive at startup?

Hey, I fried my A3000 using an external SCSI Zip drive, be very careful.

I fried it twice. Once by ejecting a Zip disk whilst it was plugged in and the A3000 on.

The other time because I disconnected it while it while the A3000 was on without a Zip disk in it.
