From what I have seen, all internal Iomega SCSI ZIP drives can either be set to ID  6 or 7 but not 0.  Now, I have seen on Youtube where this guy put a ZIP drive in his Emax

This tells me it isn't a matter of a bad floppy DD alignment in my EMAX I (The FDD is not the ONLY thing it will not see, anyway) for if that were the case (No offense to Jammie's theory, it's a good one nonetheless!) the Emax I formatted disks would not check out fine, nor be able to be read by the Win95 system here at work. IE: EMX would see the disks as bad, too.
