Interal Atapi IDE ZIP drive possible on EMAX rack?

Interal Atapi IDE ZIP drive possible on EMAX rack?

2013-03-15 by d0ct0rgr33nthum8

Hi all, 

I am wondering if the above is possible, and if so- do I need any extra equipment or can i just install the ZIP straight into the Emax?

Apologies if this  has been posted already- I did a quick search but I have very limited time this evening.

Thanks!

EMAX only has SCSI interface.
You can get an ACARD 7220 / 7222, but they are very expensive.
Easier to get SCSI interal zip, for the price, or get media drive like
PCD-60B or 50B.

Thanks.

Will an internal SCSI zip will go straight in replacement of the floppy drive?

Same for media drive?

It depends what version of the Emax you have.

Emax -> no SCSI
Emax SE -> no SCSI
Emax HD -> you have SCSI
Emax HD SE -> You have SCSI
Emax Plus -> Think you have SCSI

There is a bunch of info on the net and in this group about it. You can 
sometimes upgrade non-SCSI Emax's to SCSI, but it depends on the 
motherboard version.

also- the floppy drive is not SCSI and Emax expects the floppy drive to be
there (unless you jumper it, but that isn't my recommendation).

Re: Interal Atapi IDE ZIP drive possible on EMAX rack?

Hi all

Continuing on a thread as I did not find any more details..
I got an internal ZIP drive from work (Z100ATAPI) and this should be compatible with my EMAX HD Rack if trusting the database.
And as my internal original HDD does not work - the question is if I can "just switch" the HDD to this ZIP-drive as it is an internal one? I guess it probably isn“t that easy, so if anyone have experience with this I would love som input!
Thanks Niklas

As long as you can set the internal Zip to SCSI Device 0 when your SCSI HDD is not present, then you can boot from SCSI.

In my case I have modded my Emax to have external SCSI w/ an external Zip Drive which can only be set to SCSI Device ID 5 or 6. So I must still boot the Emax Plus 1.0 OS from the FDD because SCSI Device ID 0 is needed to be present in order to boot via SCSI.

Once booted then I can load banks from any SCSI by setting the Emax SCSI ID to read Device ID 5 or 6 for my external Zip drive by pressing the Transpose and then the number pad buttons to select.

Hope that helps.
