You need to get a SCSI Zip classic. Zip pluses power down which 
won't work with an Emax II. It should also be known that the Zip does 
not work with all Emax II units and you won't know until you try it. I 
don't think the 250Mb will work because it's newer and probably 
powers down automatically as well. Also I believe the newer units need 
software to have their SCSI ID changed from the default so that's an 
issue too.

My recommendation is to get a Syquest drive. Even though they aren't 
in production anymore you can get an EZ-135 or EZFlyer 230 on Ebay 
or Ubid for $40-50 and they work flawlessly. I use both in a chanin 
between my Emax II and ESi-32.
