  • Zoomfloppy

    From Shawn Highfield@1:229/452 to All on Tue Sep 9 06:44:00 2025
    Hi All,

    I recently picked up a zoomfloppy as I wanted to try to get a few of
    my old floppies ripped to image files.

    I've spent over 4 hours so far and not having much luck. I'm getting
    a firmware 8 > 7 error.

    Does anyone have any step by step for getting this thing to work? My
    host OS can be either Windows 11 or Linux Mint. Everything I can find
    says don't downgrade the firmware, but nothing on the web says anything
    about version 8.

    Thanks for any help,

    Shawn
