How can I connect all these up together and use both asr and mpc on the same zip and cdrom drive.

I know I cant access the same disk because they are 2 different formats, but I want to be able to put in my asr zip or cdrom and access it and when its time to load up the mpc I want to be able to pull out the ASR disk and just pop in the mpc disk and go to work with out having to repatch any of the storage devices!!!!!

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be able to connect them all as long as your cd-rom has two ports on it. Just connect all them all in a chain , but I wouldn't turn them both on at the same time. Not sure if it will work because scsi's need a teminating device at the end of the chain, which would be, in your case, mpc and asr. But you don't wanna have them both trying to access the disk at the same time. So if you have them both on I would make sure I had a floppy in the ASr so it wouldn't try to access the floppy until you wanted it to ...Peace
