Procedure
Perform the following procedure without the Zip drive connected to the system.

Note: Make sure the system is running Windows 98 and that the USB port is configured. On the Toshiba systems with the Intel USB controller, there will be an Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal host Controller and USB root hub devices listed in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controller. On Toshiba systems with the NEC USB controller, there will be an NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller and USB root hub devices listed in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controller. Windows 98 ships with drivers for both USB controllers.

  1. Insert Iomegaware CD into the CD-ROM drive. If it autoplays, go to step 3.
  2. Double click CD-ROM icon in My Computer.
  3. Welcome to Iomegaware setup will come up. Click Next to proceed.
  4. Software license agreement screen comes up. Click Next to proceed. If the Iomegaware setup detects that the USB controller does not meet the v1.1 specification a message will pop up with a warning message not to connect low speed and high speed USB devices on the same controller. Click OK to proceed.
  5. Iomega Software dialogue box comes up giving the option to select what items to install. The default items selected are driver and tools, copy machine, 1 step backup for Iomega drives, and record it. The only item required for the Zip drive to work is the driver and tools. Select items that you wish to install and click Next to accept the default directory of C:\Program Files\Iomega\Tools.
  6. Setup will create folders, copy files, and create short cuts. When the Set up Complete dialogue box comes up the default of "Yes, I want to restart my computer now ", select the option "No, I will restart my computer later".
  7. The Iomega registration screen comes up with the options to Skip registration or click Next> to continue with registration. The options for registration are: Internet using my WEB browser, Send information by email, Send information by modem, Print a form for faxing, and Print a form for mailing.
  8. If Skip registration is selected, the setup will confirm that you want to cancel registration by presenting three options: Yes, Other options, No. Select Yes to skip registration, Other options to select other options, or No to go back and complete registration.
  9. When setup completes, choose Start/Shutdown/Shutdown and click OK to shutdown system.
  10. Connect AC adapter to the Zip drive, AC adapter to power source, USB cable to Zip drive and the other end of USB cable to the system.
  11. Insert a Zip disk into the Zip drive and power on system.
  12. System will PnP the following devices: Iomega USB Mass Storage Class Driver, Iomega Win 98 USB Disk Controller, and Iomega Zip 100. As soon as Windows 98 finishes coming up the Zip drive will be ready to use.

The system must be running Windows '98 and have a USB controller that conforms to USB specification v1.0 or greater. If the USB controller does not meet the v1.1 specification, data corruption will result if a low speed USB device (joystick, mouse, keyboard, etc.) and a high speed USB device (printer, scanner, Zip drive) are combined on the same controller.
