Title: SCSI Chain Post by: Elmbeatz on February 25, 2008, 10:34:40 AM Hi!
I read that Kris has a Zip drive as well as a CD Rom drive connected to his EIII. I also bought mine with all that stuff, but I can't get my CD ROM drive working. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, I got it terminated as the last piece in my SCSI Chain, but it's not being recognized by the EIII. My Zip's recognized at once (when CD ROM is disconnected). I got most of the Original Library CDRoms, so I would really like to be able to read them. Any tips? Title: Re: SCSI Chain Post by: dvdborn on February 25, 2008, 12:27:27 PM Hi Elmbeatz,
I'm also using a Zip drive and a CD-ROM with my EIII. I've got the CD-ROM first in the chain and then the ZIP drive with its terminator button on. First of all, make an inventory of your SCSI ID's. The following devices have a SCSI ID: EIII, internal hard drive, zip drive and CD-ROM. They all need to have different ID's. If this is the case and you still can't use the CD-ROM then your drive probable isn't compatible with the EIII. I had to try several CD-ROM drives before settling with an early Apple model that came out of a PowerPC 7500. Have you also tried the CD-ROM drive without the ZIP-drive?

Maybe the drive isn't compatible, but it came with the EIII, so..... Greetz, Elm. |
