Internal SCSI CDs were customarily SCSI ID3, the Mac/Boot Drive was ID0. Was there an Apple convention for internal SCSI Zip Drives?
6x00 SCSI Zip Drives - What SCSI ID did Apple assign them?

Agreed, typically Apple used SCSI ID 3 for internal CD ROM Drives.
I thought they'd switched to IDE Zips in the Beige Boxen?
Beige G3s came with both at various times for some reason.
Edit - duh me, because the IDE was screwed up on early Beige G3s. Two busses, but each would only take one device, so that's hard disk, and CD-ROM.
Later versions of the Beige G3 had better IDE that could work with two devices on one bus, so they might have switched over then.
THX!
MY External Zip Drives are well and truly buried. IIRC, they had a binary SCSI ID select switch? What were the 2 IDs?
edit: internal drives addressed almost the full range of available IDs on the Mac

SCSI Internal Configuration
Before mounting the device, you’ll need to configure it via the jumper switch located on the rear of the drive. SCSI ID setting: The three leftmost jumpers are used to configure the drive’s SCSI ID number. This can be assigned a value of 0 through 7. Usually, 7 is reserved for the SCSI host...
