Yes, it always looks at the floppy but should automatically count through the SCSI chain until
it finds your Zip, which will be either 5 or 6 and terminated, yes ?

The preferred SCSI boot drive is under Master/Special.
You don't need to do anything with the floppy

Are you using the II ?

Occasionally, the II would not see the Zip, but that would be after a disconnect/reconnect
and I'd just have to reattach the SCSI cable, usually at the Emax side..

  Hi Lyn,

  Thanks for the quick response. The problem is the emax always looks 
  to the floppy disk drive first and I can't find the settings where 
  you can tell it to look at the SCSI port first. Do i have to take 
  the floppy drive out?

  Thanks
