Re: [emax] Emax Zip Drive

2010-02-27 by Dave Sotnick

With the Emax I you must use a ZIP drive that can be set to SCSI ID 0. All
external ZIP drives I have come across can only be set to SCSI ID 5 or 6.

While Compact Flash (CF) is a better option, if you're going to use ZIP
drives, you'll need an INTERNAL SCSI ZIP drive, since they have jumpers that
you can set to any SCSI ID (all jumpers off/open sets the drive to the
required ID 0).

Hope that helps,
Dave
