Emax

Guys--Im in NZ 
Emax HD I bought has not got an external SCSI port--would my best bet be to buy a brand new floppy drive from Route 66 for USD$75

thanks Dave

You can't set an external zip to 0, only id's 5 or 6. However you could buy and internal scsi zip + external enclosure and set that to 0. If your floppy drive is not working this wont do you any good since you wont be able to boot the floppy to format the zip. 

Your best bet is to get the floppy drive working than investage booting from a scsi drive, either the internal drive or the aformentioned zip.
