So, the hard drive is dead (or it appears that way), which is a pity really. I did however acquire, fairly recently and by sheer accident, a scsi zip 100 drive from a junk pile at school. I don't have a scsi cable though, So, does anyone know what, if any, fundamental difference there is in the cable that goes from the drive to the computer for a scsi zip/parallel drive? Also, I assume it's possible to boot from a scsi zip drive, but can an installer find the drive by itself? I do have an untested set of system 7.0.1 (I think) install floppies, but I doubt that has the necessary drivers by default, so If I could get this to work (os floppies and zip drive would ideally be in working order -- but who can tell from looking...), how would I go about installing that os on a zip drive?

Also, if it's just a single drive, it's needs scsi termination enabled right? (the drive has a termination switch and a scsi id 5/6 switch)
