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
