How does Zip Drive perform with an Apple HS SCSI card?
Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25I had many problems when I first started with the Iomega Zip on my GS and it isn't the most reliable thing - But it works. Attach a terminator adapter to the back of the remaining port on your external HD - The Zipdrive has a weak termination and requires another terminator source. Last, if you are working on the GS for a long time and suddenly the Zipdrive Icons don't pop up when you load Finder, simply eject the zipdisk and push it back into the drive.
Related QuestionsWhat are correct HS SCSI settings, etc. for a Bernoulli drive?
Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - AppleOne possibility is DMA compatibility. If your memory card is not DMA compatible, then switch 1 on the Apple HS SCSI card should be open (up). Another possibility I guess is a SCSI ID conflict. The Apple HS SCSI card's ID at the factory is set to 7. Here are the Apple HS SCSI card switch combinations: Third, the scsi chain needs termination power to work properly. This is different from termination. Both are required for a properly functioning scsi chain.

Related QuestionsIs a CMS SCSI interface card adequate for connecting a Zip drive?
Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25I have had a Zip Drive hooked to a CMS SCSI card (1990 ROM) for 2-3 years in my IIgs without a hitch. Basically you just go into the setup for the CMS card. It will partition the drive into 32 meg sections which you can access two at a time-- It makes three on a Zip disk. Then once GS/OS is booted it tells you that the disk is unreadable and asks if you want it formatted and you hit ok for each virtual drive and there you have it.
Related QuestionsHow do I restart my HS SCSI + Zip when the Zip deactivates?
Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25The problem is with the Apple SCSI driver. The Zip drive normally deactivates itself after a period of time to conserve energy. The Apple SCSI driver fails to reactivate the Zip when the IIGS tries to access it. If this happens in some programs, data can get corrupted. If it happens in the Finder, the Finder will ask you if you want to format the Zip disk. You can reacivate your Zip by hitting the eject button and pushing the Zip disk back into the drive after it has ejected.

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25Your best choice is the version 3.01f RamFAST. Along with good speed, Direct Memory Access support, and on-ROM utilities, you also get an interface which permits ejecting a Zip disk and mounting a new Zip disk from the System 6 Finder. (There is no need to restart the system in order to swap disks.) The same can be said of the Apple High Speed SCSI.
Related QuestionsCan I use an Ultra SCSI drive with or without a Card ?
transintl.com upgrade F.A.Q.Only Ultra SCSI (8 bit) drives can be connected internally or externally. Ultra SCSI 16-bit drives have to be connected via a PCI Card. Ultra SCSI (16 bit) can be used with a card but a performance gap of 40 MB/s exists since Ultra SCSI (16 bit) offers only 40 MB/s (max). Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) is highly recommended if planning to gain maximum performance with a PCI card.

Related QuestionsCan I plug my external Zip drive into the Buz SCSI port?
Iomega Buz FAQYes, certainly. BUT, you will probably need a new SCSI cable. The Zip uses a DB-25, while the Buz has a standard high-density "SCSI-2" connector. Unfortunately, the cable to go between the two is hard to find, and often expensive. You could end up paying US$20 to $40 for it. Jeff Kleist reports that "Best Buy" has this "DB25 to HD50" cable on the shelf for $34.95. internal ZIP drive will be easier, since the Buz has a standard 50-pin "SCSI narrow" internal header.

Related QuestionsWhat if we already have a Zip drive?
Remote Backup Frequently Asked Questions - Northwest Technic...Frankly, we believe that it is not optimal for most users to use a zip drive or other removable disk media for backup. A remote backup service is completely automated and has the required file redundancy to protect important data. The only safe way to use a zip drive for backup is to have three disks and make the same backup three times. That way when one of the disk fails, you are still protected.

Related QuestionsWill a SCSI-2 hard drive work with an Apple 2 system?
Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - AppleThere is a major caveat to this answer. Some newer drives require a host which implements the arbitration phase of the SCSI communication dialogue. The RamFAST doesn't do this, and as a result there are some drives that cannot be used with a RamFAST SCSI card. A notable example is the Quantum Fireball series. However; the Trailblazer and all older Quantum models work fine.
