In case you don't find another driver disk... If you are lucky, the disk structure could be corrupt, but some of the files that you need might still be intact. You might try dumping the disk block-by-block and then picking out files from the disk image.
However, is this close enough? http://www.amigau.com/zipdrives/aSoftware.html |

If I remember rightly you can't use a parallel zip drive with an amiga.

aye i remember now, as the amiga is missing a specific programming line it has to pulse another so a line re-route is needed hence either a modified connector OR i am sure you can buy them at one point. hmmm maybe ebay lol
its looking good, not sure how the experimental drivers might go though.. |
