Hi.
Two questions, for an expert in internal ide Zip's:
-1). I've tried to boot from an ide Zip, on a PC with Award
bios. For this, I did SYS from DOS over a Zip, and there appeared IO.SYS,
MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM. But when booting from the Zip, the message
"Starting MS-DOS" appears, and stays for ever. The PC responds to
Ctrl+Alt+Del, so isn't lost. This method is on the believe that the
ide Zip is just like a floppy. What am I missing? (inserting in config
device=ASPIATAP.SYS (see below) doesn't make any difference).
-2). I see that on the Iomega software for the Zip there are
two files related to the ide ZIP: ASPIIDE.SYS and ASPIATAP.SYS. The
ide Zip is recognized with just GUEST.EXE, GUEST.INI and ASPIATAP.SYS,
but not with ASPIIDE.SYS instead of ASPIATAP.SYS. What is then
ASPIIDE.SYS for? More: what is the exact difference between IDE and
ATAPI? (I think ATAPI is a subset of the IDE spec, but am not sure).

Starting point: (-1)^(-1) = -1
Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing: -1 = 1
(ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
