Emax

Thanks very much, it worked perfectly.  The first time I switched to
a different 
scsi id, I had to press the number twice.  Now it only needs to be
pressed 
once.  Now I think I'll copy all my data to Zip and disconnect the
noisy internal 
hd.  Thanks again,
Peter

 


> Does your emax have an external scsi port?  Is your zip hooked up
to it?

the 
transpose button and you see the scsi ID at zero (this specifies the
internal 
Hard Drive)  Press whatever SCSI ID the zip is twice while the
transpose 
button is held and it should change if the device is connected
properly.  Once 
it is something other than zero, the format HD command will format
the zip.  
This is a much quicker format than the internal HD.

if it says SCSI ID under transpose, you have plus and can proceed.
