Re: [emax] formatting emax II zip with pc?

2009-03-26 by s*

What model of Zip drive is it?  Is the write protect enabled on the Zip
disk?  Is the Zip drive terminated?  Is there more than one device enabled
with the same SCSI ID#?  Could the Zip disk be corrupted?

Zip drives are known to die from time to time so, there is the possibility
that the heads have been damaged even though the Emax sees the device.
