Guest is a program used to assign a drive letter to your Iomega® drive. There are two versions of the Guest software - the Guest version used to assign a drive letter in DOS and the Guest version used to assign a drive letter in Windows® 3.1x or Windows 95/98. Guest is not compatible nor is it necessary with operating systems newer than Windows 98.

Select your operating system and follow the steps below to install your Zip® parallel port drive on another computer using an IomegaWare™ CD.

The version of Guest that runs in Windows automatically installed the drivers needed to use your drive. The Windows version of Guest is no longer available for download for the following reasons:

1. It only works in the Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems.
   
   
2. The drivers installed by Guest are old drivers.
   
   
3. Guest only worked with the following Iomega drives:
   
   
   • Zip 100MB and 250MB Parallel Port
   • Zip 100MB and 250MB SCSI (internal and external)
   • Zip 100MB and 250MB ATAPI
   • Jaz 1GB and 2GB SCSI (internal and external)
   • Jaz 1GB and 2GB Parallel Port (Jaz Traveller™ required)

Iomega has replaced the Windows version of Guest with newer drivers that are available for download.

The latest drivers, except for the Windows 98 driver, will fit on a floppy and will install in the following operating systems:

• Windows 95/98
• Windows ME
• Windows NT®

  Note: The Iomega drivers are already included in Windows XP and a driver download is not necessary.

Important! If you need a driver for Windows 98 to fit on a floppy, download the Windows 95 driver instead.
