Hello all, What would I need to install to get System 7.1 to read a DOS-formatted Zip disk? 7.5 did it just fine, and I assumed it to be part of PC Exchange. But after installing PC Exchange on my machine running 7.1, it still says the disk is unreadable. Thanks. |

To be honest, I have no clue! Usually, when I get to do this kind of things, I go through another (younger) mac that can read the files and copy them to the old mac.

To fill that gap, in steps DOS Mounter 95 and the newer DOS Mounter 98. Both are downloadable from the Macintosh Garden. DOS Mounter 95 works in Mac OSs from 6.0.7 and above. DOS Mounter 98 requires System 7.0 and later (up to Mac OS 8.5.1). Either of these utilities can mount DOS formatted Zip drives Read/Write. Media Supported DOS Mounter 95 and 98
Additional info: DOS Mounter 95 and DOS Mounter 98 (Web Archive HTTPs links)

Thanks, Knezzen. I guess I am a huge fan of DOS Mounter 95/98, especially when used in Mac OSs made before 7.5.x.
