Description: ZipTools is a simple module to give access to the more advanced facilities of the Iomega SCSI Zip drive, including ejecting and password protection. ZipID - This lets you specify the SCSI ID of your ZIP drive. ZEject - This tells the drive to eject the current disk. ZWProt - Write protects the current disk. If you use Wprot -p, then it will ask you for a password. Once password write-protection is set, you will be unable to modify the disk in any way without giving the password beforehand. If you don't use a password, then you can unprotect the disk without a password. ZUnprot - Unset the current protections. This restores the disk to a non-passworded read/write enabled form. If a password is required to achieve this, you will be prompted for one. ZProt - This protects the current disk against reading or writing. If the disk is already password-protected, you will be asked to supply the old password first. ZProt always requires a password to be set. Note yet again that if you use this function and then forget the password, the only way out will be to format the disk. ZStatus - This reports the current protection status of the disk. ZUnlock - This restores the permissions to read/write until the disk is ejected from the drive. If a password is required to achieve this, then you will be prompted.
