Mzip

The mzip command is used to issue ZIP disk specific commands on Solaris or HPUX. Its syntax is:

mzip [-epqrwx]

Mzip allows the following command line options:

e

Ejects the disk.

f

Force eject even if the disk is mounted.

r

Write protect the disk.

w

Remove write protection.

p

Password write protect.

x

Password protect

q

Queries the status

To remove the password, set it to one of the passwordless modes -r or -w: mzip will then ask you for the password, and unlock the disk. If you have forgotten the password, you can get rid of it by low-level formatting the disk (using your SCSI adaptor's BIOS setup). The ZipTools disk included with the drive is also password protected. This password is automatically removed once the ZipTools have been installed(1).
