Well, I've got three drives I've been trying this on, 1.0 and 1.2 gig 
Connors.  I've hooked them to the Mac and run Silverlining on them and 
they get a good bill of health there.

I've tried shortening up the SCSI cable line and only connecting the 
three necessary drives (boot drive, Zip, and target drive) and the 
results are better, but I keep having problems.  Right now I'm copying 
Golden Orchard from Zip disks to the target drive.

If it doesn't lock up with a colored screen, I get following error message:
"System Error ($0001) This Operation cannot be completed.  Bad System 
Call Number."

Any idea what that could mean in this context?
