Are you by any chance using some bizarre CD ROM drive that requires a driver? I have a 12x Pioneer CDROM drive that will not mount disks without a driver. It's possible that yo…

SCSI Manager 4.3, just Google it, lots of info, in particular see http://db.tidbits.com/issue/251 which mentions the requirement for a "SCSI Manager 4.3 compatible hard disk driver…

I made a zip boot disk with Iomega Tools on 4400, but the Q700 couldn't boot from it. The manuals showed me nothing new… :'( ~~~~ What is SCSI Manager 4.3 and why does it make …

Electronic, self contained, but the software one is a little non-obvious. You have to click in the rectangle lower leftmost to bring up a table of contents with hot links. The fi…

Are the manuals printed or electronic?

As if by magic, copies of the Iomega Installation Guide and the Iomega Software Manual have appeared along side the 4.2 driver extension. The Installation Guide has instructions f…

:O If I put in an Apple HD, I'd put in a bigger one which would defeat the purpose of getting the zip drive. :-x I have lots of precious data of the Quadra's HD. Having to someh…

...(rolls eyes to the ceiling)... Well, you did suspect the off-brand hard drive, this may be the time to swap in another drive, Apple rom or not, just to see if the current one i…

It didn't do anything. Does anybody know what I can do? :?:

I don't think this is a chaining problem because the Zip Drive has these problems whether the CD-ROM drive is hooked up to it or not, and the CD-ROM drive always works. I'll try th…

You may be beyond normal help. My favorite quote for this situation, from Apple, no less, from the general troubleshooting aid at http://www.appledoc.com/article2.html: "Getting…

I think I just figured out more about the Zip Drive. Here's how: 1. I disabled SCSI Manager 4.3 2. Everything became unstable 3. My SCSI CD-ROM Drive worked without SCSI Manager…

This Macintosh is great. It starts up in only a couple seconds!

The patched HD SC Setup erased the HD!

I did SCSI Probe with the Extensions Off. It saw an Iomega Zip 100 drive. The ID was fine.

It's great that the zip works on your 4400. quinterro beat me to the punch. You can use Apple System Profiler, SCSI Probe or similar to reveal the SCSI addresses that the system …

How about checking SCSI IDs and termination? Just a thought.

I used to quite like Zip drives for transfers but I'm all about the networking or serial connections these days. I actually love serial connections a lot cos they're so simple and…

I'll try the HD solutions everyone mentioned tonight. I tested the Zip Drive on my 4400, and it works fine, no problem… What makes my Quadra 700 act this way? Is it related to the…

I notice under Diagnostics and Utilities, Hard Disk Tools, there is a version of Apple HD SC Setup - All Drives that appears to be the patched version. I tried it on a non-Apple e…

maybe it is a IDE? because if there is no SCSi ID switch, then it is probably IDE or you are using the same ID as HD ...

If I turn the Zip Drive on first, I get the blinking ?. It's the same with any other SCSI device. I believe this is due to the non-Apple Hard Drive. I will try this Zip Drive on my…

Can you send me your copy as an email attachment? That version doesn't have a serial number. :-x

In a peripheral drivers area there is a FWB Hard Disk Toolkit that is a pretty competent disk formatter utility you might try. I haven't used that exact archive but have a version…
