Zip 100 Drive. 128kb per second??!!

Well, I am a little confused where to put this issue because it covers all bases and since the Digital Hub has been trashed (iCal is not a digital hub software...is it?)...whatever...



Anyway...

I am using OS X 10. 1. 5, Have a Zip 100 drive (4 years old) and using Iomega's latest drivers (installed 2 months ago) connected through a hub to my iMac G3 700 w/ 768 MB RAM. When I did transfer files in OS 9 it was pretty quick and painless. Now that I'm 90% within OS X it's as slow as a snail racing on sandpaper. 128 kilobytes per second. It takes hours to transfer files now!



Why?



1. Iomega's fault? Newest drivers and see below.

2. OS X's fault? Transfers are faster in OS 9.

3. Zip disc formatting fault...I primarily am transfering files from a Windows formatted disc since the files originally come from work. And I think I noticed that Mac formatted discs move faster?



Any thoughts, advice or beratement appreciated.



Ooops, maybe this should go in Genius Bar... :o
