Mac OS 9: Iomega Driver and Virtual Memory

This article provides important information about using an Iomega volume for virtual memory under Mac OS 9.

Mac OS 9 allows you to use removable media (such as an Iomega Jaz drive) for virtual memory.

If you want to install Mac OS 9 onto a Zip or Jaz disk, you should use a non-removable volume for virtual memory. To do this, hold down the Shift key while choosing Restart from the Special menu (to disable your extensions). Then open the Memory control panel and turn on virtual memory. Select a volume that is compatible with virtual memory as the virtual memory volume.
