What is Guest95?

Guest95 is a program included on the "Install" floppy disk for your Iomega tools software package.  Guest95 provides a convenient way to set up your Iomega hardware without having to run the Windows 95 Add New Hardware Wizard.  Running Guest95 automatically configures and loads the driver needed by Windows 95 for your Iomega adapter, and tells Windows about the drives connected to the adapter.  It also loads the driver that lets your Iomega software talk to other adapters on your system.


Guest95 and Iomega Setup95

The Iomega Setup95 program runs the Guest95 program to install the drivers needed by Windows 95 for your Iomega adapters and drives.  Guest95 works with Windows 95 to provide your Iomega drives with drive letters so that Setup95 can install your Iomega "tools" software package.


Why run Guest95?

When you install your Iomega "tools" software package using Setup95.exe, Setup95 automatically runs Guest95 to set up your Iomega hardware.  If Setup95 completes normally, you may not need to run Guest95 again unless you add or remove Iomega hardware from your system.

After your Iomega "tools" software is installed, you may want to run Guest95 when you:

 Connect a parallel port Zip drive

 Add an Iomega adapter to your system

 Add drives to an Iomega adapter connection
