Emax

Do you mean the external scsi connector to put a zip disk external  
or ????

The scsi upgrade consists of chips and you modify your existing main  
board.

at that point you can:
remove the floppy drive and put a SCSI Zip in its place in the hole.
If you wish you can add a slim floppy so you still have floppy, or
you can get a internal hard disk
or you can get a internal hard disk and have a external zip.
It really depends on what you are trying to do.

If you want to use external zip you will need something like this  
(this is not an endorsement for this seller,but is an example of the  
connection needed for external connection):
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-SCSI-INTERNAL-50-Pin-To-EXTERNAL-25-Pin-Adapter-I-O_W0QQitemZ110304197975QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110304197975&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1420 
|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

However, external zip is usually ID 5 or 6, so Emax won't boot from  
it. Internal zip can be set to ID 0 and emax can boot from it.

Here is what I did - Compact Flash with Slim floppy:



If you can clarify what you intend to do, I can perhaps clear up if  
there is any question how to achieve it.

Also- Is your Emax SE or Non-SE so I get you the right OS disk.

Regards,
Ted

Ted,

I bidded on and won one of your Emax SCSI Upgrade. Now what are my  
chances of getting an Emax SCSI adapter board? What is the work around  
just in case? I have the Version 2, Rev B, PCB Board.
