I saw some very cheap internal 100MB SCSI Zips on Ebay, e.g.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180361040585&_trksid=p2759.l1259

If I bought one of these, could I just extend the internal 50pin SCSI cable to the outside of the casing and directly connect it to the Zip drive? Wouldn't this be the best solution? I wouldn't have any issues with the SCSI id either...
