So far I have only used SCSI, ATAPI, and IDE Iomega ZIP-100 drives
and had no problems with them under DR-DOS (except for a problem
with Iomega's GUI tools, which was solved with DR-DOS 7.03).

Since the device drivers for the ZIP-250 should be the same as
those shipping with newer issues of the ZIP-100, I don't expect
any problems using ZIP-250 drives under DR-DOS.

Of course, you will not be able to use USB ZIP drives under any
DOS, but if you get one of the rare SCSI or ATAPI ZIP-250 drives,
they should work just fine.

PS. Has anyone tested one of the new LS-240 drives under DR-DOS yet?
