Iomega Zip100 and Akai S2000 sampler questions - Please Help

What's up y'all,

I have a Iomega Zip100 and I'm trying to hook it up to my S2000 (which has a SCSI port) but the problem is when I try to format it (the zip disk) my S2000 shows "Searching for AKAI SCSI disk" on the lcd screen and then it just freezes. Here goes my questions...

1. Does anybody know if this Iomega Zip is SCSI? I think it was made back in 2001. Could it be that it's not SCSI? If it is, how come the S2000 keeps on freezing when I try to format it?

2. My O.S for the S2000 is currently version 1.50, how can i get and put the latest version on a zip disk. The reason I want to it on a zip disk is because my computer doesn't have a floppy drive. I'm currently running windows XP.

Ok y'all, please help if you know! I appreciate it.

Word ... This is the MPC60/MPC3000 support forum.

Not the S2000 support forum.

Blown SCSI fuse on the S2000 main board or incompatible ZIP drive.

No crystal ball here.

Unless you describe the connections and switches present on this ZIP drive then it is difficult for any of us to guess if it is a SCSI or PLUS model.

So ... What connectors and switches are on the drive

Is the word PLUS present anywhere on this ZIP mechanism

You'll need a flat image file dump of the V2.00 os disk and a ...... disk writing tool to make a boot floppy.

This has been done before...

Google it !!!
