You need the one with Dip Switches on the back that has Termination ID

You can provide some photos of the piece? and sorry for my ignorance brother.

As I always say "If it ain't got the switches, you been had like a bitches".

Thank you for your reply. What is that model of ZIP.

That's strange in another thread you kept saying what is Termination Switch you don't need that for a Zip Drive to work with the MPC.

I don't think that is what I said, at least not on purpose. You said the drive needed a "Termination ID" switch and I pointed out that there is no such thing. There is a Termination switch and a SCSI ID switch and you need at least the SCSI ID switch to be present in order for the drive to be a SCSI drive. If the drive is a Zip Plus (hybrid SCSI/Parallel) then it will not have the Termination switch because termination is automatic on those drives.
