Emax

Hello,

I built a scsi zip into an external case and set it to ID 0
and it does indeed boot. One thing that's different about
the external zip i made vs the factory purple zips is that
after the emax and the zip drive have been turned on for
awhile it seems the zip goes to sleep and cannot be
accessed until I powercycle the zip enclosure. It's a
little annoying but not a show stopper.

Regards,

Mike Wolak
