Emax

As far as I know the Emax Plus can only boot from either floppy or 
SCSI 0. So you'll need a SCSI device which can have the SCSI ID set 
to zero. External ZIP drives can only have the ID set to 5 or 6.
Internal ZIP drives however can have a SCSI ID set to 0 (I think).

The EMAX-II checks the whole SCSI-chain, so if you use an EMAX-II you 
can boot from any SCSI device. 

Maybe I am wrong about the Emax Plus, but that's what I read about it 
and mine seems also not to be able to boot from an external ZIP drive 
(but I don't have a lot of experience with that machine).
