Well as I mentioned previously, I removed the HD from the chain so therefore the zip was the only device other than the floppy. SCSI devices have a way of terminating ( or as you refer "addressing" ) by either switches ( Zip ) or resistor packs ( HD's ). I'm no expert myself, but I have to believe by removing all other devices in the SCSI chain, the computer should at least try to access the zip drive on boot up. I actually used this method to troubleshoot and perfect the HD installation procedure.
The media issue would be secondary as ( again ) the drive itself is not currently recognized by the SDX. In other words, you can not format a disk that is in a non-functional drive.
Anybody else have any info they could possibly share before all my hair is gone?

http://www.myspace.com/roland_brennerDo you possibly have any conflicts with your SCSI adressing? You know you need to
assign unique adresses to each SCSI device in the chain. The ZIP media need to be
formatted just as the internal harddrive before you can use. It's exactly the same
procedure
