I just use standard power adapters with all wires (no modifications).

Ok, thanks I will contact him.
But I have to ask, when you have installed internal ZIP-drive (as I imagine that you have, since youve made a bootable Zip) have you used both the 5V and the 12V?

If you are on the drop box hosted by Andre, there are the 5 working factory HD images up there, which I have already tested as bootable on flash media, Zip, and HD.

Ok, i'll try to use the 12V line as well. i was just afraid to fry the drive, since it only stated 5V on the drive itself.

Robert: Did you make a bootable ZIP-disk (internal SCSI Zip-drive)? If so, do you simply put both the OS and some soundbanks on the disk in EMXP?

I would have thought the 12V line would have been used for the motor on the zip.

However, if the motor is spinning and the light comes on the drive, then likely something wrong with the image or the head alignment of the zip drive may not match the alignment of the drive it was written from….

that would be my thoughts.

Use EMXP to load a zip disk image with banks to the zip disk.
Then try again. Worked for me.

Ok, I'll have to continue ask on this topic:


I switched the faulty internal HDD to an internal Iomega Z100Si (SCSI ZIp) and used the same SCSI cable that previously was connected to the internal HDD. And made sure that the cable was connected correctly, pin 1 to nr 1 on the cable.
I set the SCSI id to 0, (termination; on) on the Internal drive.
The only mod I did was to only connect the +5V cable for the power supply, as only +5V was stated on the ZIP-drive. So the +12V line was left unused.
I loaded a floppy with the Plus OS and made sure that the SCSI Id was 0 (by holding transpose-button).
But - I only get "HD format error" when trying to acces the drive (which I have loaded with a pre-manufactured ZIP-disk with Emax-sounds bought of Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/301299193629?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

Any suggestions? Could it be the 12V-line?
