[esmilez]

is it possible to use a scsi external zip like the IOMEGA Zip 100 with the eIII?

can i use a usb zip with emxp??

Yes, it's possible to use an external 100MB SCSI ZIP drive with the EIII. I use it on my EIII.

You can also use the ZIP 100 plus.

I also use a USB ZIP 100MB on my MacBook that runs EMXP under Win XP. So yes, it's possible.

Cheers,
David

Note, you cannot use it as a startup system drive !

greatings to all,
hey DVDBORN can you please give a little more info on using your usb-zip  setup with the Macbook
thanks.

Hi e3luv,

My MacBook is running Leopard with a version of Parallels 3.0 that runs Windows XP. Under Parallels, I designated the USB Zip Drive to Windows.
When you connect a USB device while running Windows under Parallels it is automatically designated to Mac OS X. You have to explicitly tell Parallels to use the Zip Drive.

After that I can read and write EIII Zip disks using EMXP under Windows.

 hey DVDBORN
cool set-up,
1]can you then make cd copies of the information thats on the zip drives? 
and 2] can you then use those cds on other computers that have EMXP?
THANKS.

[dvdborn]

That would be Yes on both accounts.

You can load EIII banks from an EIII formated ZIP into EMXP and save them to a CD image that can than be burnt.
