The SCSI Zip 100 will boot my Dove MacSnap SCSI equipped Mac 512Ke from System .97 and Finder 1.0, once formatted with Driver 4.2 under 6.0.x
So it should boot the Mac SE all the way back to its original system software.
I love backward compatibility.
Could the Zip 250 be formatted under System 7, then used with System 6 in the same way I can use my Zip 100 disks under earlier systems?
Not to hijack this thread, but I would much prefer a ZIP drive inside a SCSI capable Mac rather than a hard drive to make it quieter and would require only minor modification to the SE case in order to insert the ZIP disks. In the case of the SE, my understanding is that analogue board is much sturdier than the Plus board in terms of heat resistance. I wonder if without the hard drive you could turn off the fan, or at least put it on a temperature controlled switch and the existing ventilation would be mostly adequate.
