I've got an Iomega Zip 100 drive connected to my Mac Classic through the external SCSI port (with a SCSI 5 ID), and it works just fine. However, I've just picked up a Zip 100 Plus drive and tried to connect that to my Mac Classic instead of the usual standard 100, and I am simply not getting any joy.
What happens is that if the Plus is connected through the SCSI connector (the plus has a combined Parallel/SCSI port), even if the drive is not powered up, when the Mac starts up I just get the flashing question-mark in a disk telling me the system isnt behaving. I have tried the Plus using both SCSI 5 and 6 IDs, with the same response. I'm assuming there is something wrong with the termination here, but I'm a bit stumped.
I've tried to do a reset on the plus, but the hole on the back of the case just seems to be a hole, there is no switch that I can reach with a paperclip.
Is this just some sort of corrupted zip drive, or am I missing something simple?
Cheers in advance
