Re: [emax] Re: SCSI upgrade for Emax HD

You won't be able to boot from the ZIP unless the ID is zero, on either Plus
or SE HD software versions.

As far as I know, internal ZIP drives are the only ones whose ID can be set
to 0.

With the external ZIP, you can still boot off the floppy and then hold down
the Transpose button to select the SCSI ID of the drive.

You might be able to have your engineer modify the external ZIP to use SCSI
ID #0, but haven't heard of anyone doing that in the past.
