Re: ZIP100, Disk2File and SCSI

2006-05-15 by dawid_marciniak

PS:

My Internal ZIP would will not allow me to set the ID to O which (i 
think) is the default setting on the Emax.
Will i need to first boot the Emax from floppy with a HD SE Plus OS 
to set the ID to 1 (My ZIP 100 is set to 1) in order to bring it up?
Where is this setting stored? On the a Memory chip on the mainboard?
Or is it a case where the HD OS Plus automatically checks for 
Devices on all ID's.

Thanks a lot,
D
