EII + with Zip Drive

EII + with Zip Drive

2003-09-29 by Kevin Kelley

Can this be done? I know that on the emax hd the hard drive can be 
replaced by a zip but what about on a EII HD? I was wondering if 
anyone has done this mod to there EII if so I would love to see how 
it was done. I love my EII and am just trying to keep it going as 
long as I can. A EII + with 3.5 floppy and a zip drive that would be 
great!

Hi Kevin,
No way.. I have tried wiring a ZIP100 straight into the digital board SCSI
bus (before it goes to the Adaptec board and internal MFM Miniscribe hard
disk), but the EIII+HD SCSI implementation is way too simple for a ZIP100 !
Needs an OS rewrite....in '84 SCSI was only just released, and the Adaptec
board was one of the first implementations - Dave was really pushing the
technical envelope on the EII+HD. Scott had to go to Congress to get
EII+HD's exported from the USA....

Best option is a Mac running Sound Designer for EII, with RS422.

Regards
Rob
