Hi

The difference between SCSI and Parallel is the communication interface. The
Emax cannot use a parallel zip drive. Your computer can. The Emax can use
the SCSI zip drive but you have to externalize the SCSI inside the Emax to
take advantage of an external SCSI zip drive.

Best regards

Hi, I have the same setup myself, except I have no internal HD.  A few
things you can check:

-Is the termination switch on the zip drive turned on or off?  If it
is the only external HD, it should be turned on.

-Does your internal HD have jumpers set to give it a SCSI ID?  If not,
when the zip drive is hooked up, your EmaxII could be confused as to
which device should be taking SCSI device number 5 or 6 (depending on
what you have your drive set to).

-Are you positive it is a SCSI zip drive?  Believe it or not, I have
heard stories about people who purchased second hand zip drives,
assuming that they are SCSI but, apparently they actually turned out
to be parallel zip drives.  I'm not sure how true this is but, they
would both be 25db ports so, they would look very much alike.

good luck!
