I just got a omega 100 zip drive I got all the wires and everthing to run to the mpc.I was testing to see if I could save anything and when I pushed do it, it didn t do nothing.its reading the zip on scsi 3 I got it set to 5 dough.Anyways then I went to format and there it gave all the info about the zip drive so I guess its there. then I press format to format the disk and it gave me a error message.So I dont maybe its the disk or something but their brand new.The disk I have, a little mac logo but I dont think thats a problem right.Any help would be great.OnE -Los-

i've got my mpc right here in front of me at the moment so i'll see if I can help ya out yoweestyle mane.....
1 are you rockin a 2k or a 2kxl? i'm on a 2kxl

2 is your drive internal or external? i'm guessing its internal cuz them 100 mb scsi's are hella hard to come by...

3 if its internal, have you tried setting it to ATAPI in the save or setup screen?

4 whenever you try to format a disc, does it say no scsi device on the popup scriddeen?

when I try to format it it says error 0000:CFAD...Also when I first turn the mpc on and I go to load page under type it has a ? mark when I have the disk in there .When I go to format it only tells me I have a omega zip drive on ID 4 and I have set to 5....

Is the zip drive the only device in the SCSI chain? If so make sure the "terM" switch is set to on. That may be your prob (I hope)
