scsi zip drive question

Hi there

Apologies if this question has been asked a million times before...

I am trying to hook up my MPC2000 to an external iomega 100 zip drive.

The drive in question has both parallel and scsi ports in the back of it and obviously I am trying to use the scsi port to hook it up with my MPC.

However, when I try and get the MPC to recognise it, it just comes up with 'wait...' and goes no further.

Is it the case that this drive will not work, and that I need a zip drive that is solely scsi?

Or is it more likely that the hardware is faulty?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
David

hook-up your external floppy thru the scuuzy port - WHILE BOTH UNITS ARE OFF - make sure that the scuzzy has termination on and is switched to a port (usually 5 or 6) ... then - plug-in the scuzzy ... turn-on the MP and see what-up - if you have to - wait 10 min - if it still tells you to wait - then shhiitt - you need a new drive - but if it reads (hope it does) go and format your drive and go from there - good luck
