   1.  Getting Started
-------------------------------------------------------------
This product enables access to your tape drive from
Windows 95. You can now use your tape drive for file storage
and retrieval as if it were a hard drive or floppy disk.
A tape icon is displayed in the Taskbar's notification tray,
(located on the end of the Taskbar opposite the Start button)
when a tape is in the drive. Right-click this icon to display
the Tape menu. Double-click this icon to open the Toolkit, where
you can view the contents of your tape, open files, and move
files to and from tape. The toolkit lets you access all tape
operations.

This program automatically detects your tape drive.
However, if you need to remap your tape drive use the
System Properties dialog located in the Windows 95 Control
Panel.

Tapes must be formatted for Iomega Flash!File use.
Refer to the on-line help for configuration and formatting
instructions.

Note: If you are running Arcada Backup for Windows 95
      version 1.0, or Conner Backup Exec for Windows 95
      version 1.0 upgrade to version 1.15 or greater.

      Also, if you are running an older version of another
      backup program and experience problems using it
      with Iomega Flash!File loaded,
      contact your vendor for a solution.

INSTALLATION:
After installing Iomega Flash!File, a second backup
device may appear in the "Where To Backup" and "Restore From"
dialog boxes in Seagate Backup Exec. Choose the second device
in all cases as the first device may be invalid.
Any device settings (located in the properties for the backup
device in the Device Manager) that were changed to resolve
problems with the backup application, will need to be reset
to work with the newly added backup device. Also, any scheduled
jobs will need to be recreated to pertain to the newly added
backup device.



   2.  Special Considerations
-------------------------------------------------------------

   * Modifying files directly on tape can cause an inefficient
     use of tape space and may make delays seem excessive.
     When you want to edit a file stored on tape, move the file
     to your hard drive first, make changes, then move the file
     back to tape.

   * Although you can delete files from tape, be aware that space
     on tape is not reclaimed like it is on disks. You must format
     the tape before reclaiming space on tape.
     
     Caution: Formatting erases all data on the tape.

   * See your on-line help for additional considerations.



   3.  Performance Issues
-------------------------------------------------------------
   * Performance depends on various combinations including
     the type of drive, the controller, and the speed of
     your machine. On certain drives Iomega Flash!File
     is capable of playing AVI, MOV, MPEG, and other types
     of video files directly from tape.

   * Files on tape can be used with applications. However,
     we do not recommend running software applications
     off the tape.

     Caution: Invalid drive settings can cause a General
              Failure. Refer to configuration in your
              on-line help.



   4.  Known Issues
-------------------------------------------------------------

   * If you insert a tape that your tape drive does not
     support, Iomega Flash!File won't recognize the tape.

   * This program does not support QIC-40 tapes.

   * Please make sure that your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files do
     not contain duplicated DOS protected mode drivers, such as ASPI
     drivers (ASPI4DOS, BTASPI), CD-ROM drivers, or any other drivers
     that Windows 95 already provides. You should be using Windows 95
     drivers only.

   * Iomega Flash!File allows connecting your printer to tape
     drives that support daisy chaining. If you experience problems,
     make sure you have the latest drivers for your printer installed.
     Printer pass-through is only supported under Windows 95.

   * Formatting an EX tape using the Full Format option is not
     recommended since some tape drives cannot format EX tapes.
     Instead, erase your EX tape using the Quick Format option.
     If you need to Format your EX tape, refer to your tape drive
     documentation to see if your hardware supports formatting
     EX tapes.

   * If you experience problems with your tape drive while you
     are running Norton Utilities, you may want to try suspending
     Iomega Flash!File while running and Norton Utilities.

   * If you are running Norton Speed Disk, upgrade to version 2.0.

   * Iomega Flash!File does not support Windows 95 Eject PC
     feature when running on portable computers.

   * QEMM 8.00 software is incompatible with
     Iomega Flash!File. If you are using QEMM version
     8.00, please contact Quarterdeck for
     the latest version of their software.

   * If you turn on your tape drive after Windows is running,
     you must reboot before Iomega Flash!File can use
     the drive.

   * If your system is not responding and the tape is still
     spinning, do not manually remove the tape from the drive.
     Manually removing the tape from the drive may result in
     data loss. Rebooting or powering down your system at this
     time may also result in data loss. We strongly recommend
     waiting for the tape operation to complete,
     and then rewinding the tape prior to removal.

   * If you are running Windows 95 and have had Colorado
     Backup for Windows 3.1 installed on your system at
     any time, Iomega Flash!File may disable your
     floppy disk drive. To enable your floppy disk drive,
     delete the following line from the [386Enh] section
     of your SYSTEM.INI file:

     DEVICE=\path\CMSWTAPE.386

     Then, reboot your system.

   * To allow for exchanging international data, please be
     aware that Iomega Flash!File only allows
     7 bit ASCII characters for short names on files or
     directories with long names. This could result in
     short file names such as "_~1.txt", "_~2.txt", etc.

   * If you are using a virus scanning program on a laptop
     with the floppy drive disconnected and have installed
     Iomega Flash!File and rebooted your system,
     you may experience a KERNEL32.DLL page fault. If this
     happens try the following:

     Disable the "Scan disk on Access" option in the virus
     scanning program and reboot your system.

     Or,

     Connect the floppy drive to the laptop with the
     "Scan disk on Access" option enabled.


   * Touchstone's PC'Cillin anti-virus software may experience
     page faults while Iomega Flash!File is loaded.
     If this occurs, copy the MSVCRT.DLL file from the
     Windows\System directory to the PC'Cillin Directory
     and restart the computer.
 
   * When your data is spanned between two tapes, sometimes
     a partial file is not deleted off the first tape. However, the
     entire file is safe on your second tape.
