You certainly can.

Usual precautions.

1: Make certain the SCSI chain is correctly connected, devices set to unique SCSI ID's and that the SCSI chain is correctly terminated.

2: Note the SCSI ID of each device.

Reason for point 2 is that if you selected the incorrect source and target ID's you could end up wiping your disk.

IE: Copying a blank disk over one containing data. ( process not reversible in this regard )

Vailixi's SCSI copier has been used by other users to copy from ZIP, SYQUEST, JAZ, HD and CF to ZIP, SYQUEST, JAZ, HD and CF.
