My sdx for some reason when I plug the external zip scsi drive (no matter if is on/off or on 5 or 6) make the hdd disappear is like just recognize the floppy drive, even i unplugged the hdd and it just recognize the floppy, that's the first problem.
second, anybody have a tutorial to format the zip discs.
third, anybody have MTM sensitivity caps spares?

regards

Hi Fabio, it's all written in the manual :-|
The SDX cannot recognize a drive which is not formatted, no matter whether it's a ZIP or a floppy or whatever. Formatting a disk/floppy/ZIP can be done in the disk menu -> "Other". Here you'll find the format and copy functionality

Fabio, posted my white paper on the SDX HD installations in the Simmons Yahoo Group, as well as included it with this reply. This will save you a TON of time when adding/troubleshooting HD's as w AS Zip discs. Enjoy ! - Roland

Then the SDX see the zip drive external unit as a disc? how can I format a zip drive unit? Why my hdd dissapear when I connect the zip drive.
My problem are not the zip discs because I didn't reach that stage, first I'm trying to make the sdx recognize the external unit itself.
Maybe I'm confuse about how the sdx see my external zip drive unit.
regards

What happens when you start your SDX up with a zip disk inside the drive?
The SDX will detect the last disk in the chain. After the boot up continue screen, does your HDD show up in a list on the left of the screen?
In the main screen/from the main screen click DISK, INFO,DEVICE Does your HDD show up in the list?
