Disable Write Caching for Zip Drive
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
Due to intermittent delayed write failure messages when I eject zip disks
from my computer, I would be interested if anyone knows how to disable write
caching for my zip drive. It is grayed out for the zip drive as an option
under device manager. I would hope there is a registry tweak that would
enable me to do so.
