As insurance against the day when my LC475's hard disk inevitably fails, I'm investigating the idea of booting from an external SCSI Zip drive. Zip drives seem to be fairly obtainable through Ebay and at face value it would seem to be as simple as installing the driver, formatting a disk, installing Mac OS onto the disk, then booting from the drive.
Any pitfalls I should be aware of? I will be running Mac OS 7.1. Also, which version of the Iomega driver should I be using for a 100MB Zip drive? I've heard there are problems with the Iomega drivers related to putting the disks into different computers, but I won't be doing that.
Thanks in advance!
