The zip and cd drive will need a SCSI ID number which is different from that of the MPC itself and each other.

The last device in the chain must be terminated.

Example...

MPC2000 = SCSI ID #6 this is fixed internally, connect via SCSI directly to the..
Zip drive = SCSI ID #7 termination switch off, which in turn is connected to..
CD Rom = SCSI ID #8 termination switch on

Do not use SCSI ID#6 on any external devices, this is reserved for the MPC itself.

Read the appendix to your manual.
