Emax

Thats kind of a bummer. So it wont boot from the zip even if I take out the HD and put the zip in its place? Do I boot from the floppy?

I figure I can leave the dead hard drive in there and it will properly terminate the scsi line. So do I just plug it in, format a zip disk and it will work? Or do I have to do anything else to the board or the zip drive. Thanks.
