Can't comment on (drive) compression... Never got further than WinZip.
To me, dos compatibility mode suggests real mode (or wrong) drivers somewhere,
or a virus.
The only times I have gotten Phantom drives is when I was fooling around with
actual peripherals that were already supported by the BIOS and/or the operating
system AND I loaded (incorrectly!!!) another set of drivers too! It is easy to
"trip-up" Win95 this way... Since you have an ls-120 involved in this "mix",
I would look real hard at that first... That is one of the times this has happened to
me... Rick Glazier
