Hallo every one. Can somebidy tell me if there are different types of ZIP drives?

I know the 100/250/750 differents but my ZIP drive(i use it on my 60 and 3000) stopt working and i bought two drives from the internet but my MPC's won't read them.

Maybe someone can tell me what to look for when bying ZIP for my MPC's

Thanks for the help. Greetz Choys :D

Some of them has switches on the back, one for SCSI id (5 or 6?) and another switch for another thing (termination on/off?) The last switch has to be set right to get the drive to work.

I have only used defferent Zipdrivess that has been working, and can't understand why your's won't. The only Zip-drive I have had that did not work was one with only one connecter to a printer cable (printer symbol over it and wrong gender) instead of to with a regular Zip-logo or what it is.

Have you searched for the right SCSI id in the Disk + SCSI, format, other or something-window? Search for SCSI and make SCSI active, search for ALL.
