ZIP drive woes

Hi.

Used a 2000 for about 7 years, finally got the 3000 yesterday [which is what I always wanted anyway].

Plugged my scsi zip into it, expecting it to see it but no such luck

Went to the manual and followed the instructions but the MPC says 'no scsi device found' when I get it to search for it.

Am I missing something or is my SCSI port screwed?

Thanks!

did you connect them with the power off on both? did you turn on the zip first? was there a disk in th drive? can you format the zip? the mpc won't recognise a zip until it is formatted, confusing I know, but it must be done.

got it sorted out shortly after I posted.

The guy who owned it before me had shortened the wait time for scsi disks to 0 seconds. I extended the time and it now sees my zip drive after about 6 seconds or so, once it spins up.

Formatted the disk, surprised at how long that took!

Anwyay, haven't had a chance to start using it yet as other stuff has gotten in the way.

Will be getting heavily into it this week though as I prepare for a live show in July.

Thanks!

Ah! good one to remember! SCSI wait time!!

Good Work.
