zip drive

[DIRTsquirt]

I am trying to get a Zip 250 atapi drive to work under dos 5.0
bios calls it out on boot up as a zip 250 atapi, on the summary table for the bios it sees it as cdrom drive
but dos 5.o wont access it
I put it in window machine and formated the disk using FAT.
I ran the guest.exe from dos and i get the message it found drive and gave it drive letter D.
but i cannot access D. it is as if D didnt exist..
Any ideas?

Do you have the autoexec and config.sys loading the drivers for the zip drive?

Is the drive formatted, and if so, is it formatted with the FAT16 file system? I don't know that DOS 5.0 can read any other file systems.

The disk is formated Fat 16. I have tried the drivers list by SU. hence the reference to guest.exe
Calvin is onto something i think.. there are many files in the drivers. that i have no clue what they do or which is the actual driver.
I dont have any idea what the config or autoexec bat entries should look like and google wasnt any help
