They definately made a SCSI external 250. I had one until recently when I traded it to a comrade. (CC?)

Yep! That was me! It works perfectly, too.

I thought compacts couldn''t write to the 250s? Only the 100s. Or was that an Iomega driver thing? Can these be used with something like Lido 7?

1) They can write to 250s just fine.

2) I'm not sure, but certain versions of the Iomega drivers render a disk completely unusable on the early 68k Macs (one will get a sad Mac if such a disk is used at startup).

3) Yes, you can use pretty much whatever disk utility you like (but I think it has to be formatted with Apple's utility first so the computer sees it as non removable; otherwise, any ZIP aware utilities will probably treat it as a ZIP disk (Lido 7 is ZIP aware, I think), and non ZIP aware ones will probably complain and spit it out if you try doing anything.)
