Isn´t the Floppy defined as SCSI 0?

  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).
