From what I have seen, all internal Iomega SCSI ZIP drives can either be set to ID 6 or 7 but not 0. Now, I have seen on Youtube where this guy put a ZIP drive in his Emaxbut I don't know if it is a SCSI setup or an IDE. I wonder if an IDE ZIP could be placed in the Emax and the Emax be boot from it. or is this guy even booting from it?Experts on this topic, anyone?On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 1:24 PM, Daniel Baum <daniel@...> wrote:
I've never tried that; it has a hard disk. I have booted a Mac Plus from one though, if that makes any difference :)

FWIW, I have used EMXP with a 100MB USB zip drive, when I was transferring Emax II banks from a CDROM to zip disks.I used the USB zip drive with my laptop, and then read them from a SCSI zip drive on my Emax II.D.PS. I am about to have some more EMXP adventures with my new Emulator II, but that is a different story altogether...

Subject: [emax] EMXP Sucess Specs Anyone? What system you running with EMXP?
Well, tried Windows XP 64 bit with 64 bit omniflop drivers...NO GO
Windows XP 32 bit with 32 bit omniflop drivers..NO GO
Windows Vista 32 this morning, with 32 bit omniflop drivers..NO GO
Error 89! etc etc...
EMXP won't work in any of the above OS configurations on my
system:
ASUS P5E MOBO with TEAC FDD running 4 gig Patriot DDR2 800Mhz RAM and Intel Core2Quad 2.4 ghz CPU.
When I say won't work I mean it wont see my internal IDE ZIP drive, a FAT32 formatted CF card or a Floppy disk formatted in my EMAX I OS SE rev 1.1 as usable media and gives me errors to the effect that the media is NOT EMAX usable etc etc..
When I test disks I formatted on my Emax I with a computer here at work (Commodore Desktop running Windows 95-yes ancient) using EMX through DOS, the Emax I formaated disks test fine. This tells me it isn't a matter of a bad floppy DD alignment in my EMAX I (The FDD is not the ONLY thing it will not see, anyway) for if that were the case (No offense to Jammie's theory, it's a good one nonetheless!) the Emax I formatted disks would not check out fine, nor be able to be read by the Win95 system here at work. IE: EMX would see the disks as bad, too.
So, I deduce this down to some kind of hardware/driver/EMXP compatibility issue with my system and now ask any of YOU who are running know GOOD EMXP systems to please share what your FDD/MOBO configurations are so I can build a system that will successfuly run EMXP and finally get some sounds into my EMAX I
Your patience and great kindness
(ESPECIALLY TED!) with my myriad questions and issues throughout this process has been greatly appreciated.
EMU users are the best
