My SCSI Zip does double duty on my Mac as a high capacity floppy and as my
System 7.1 boot drive (yes I know about System Picker).  I have also used
it (once only) on my IIgs to back up my Quantum 100mb drive via a RamFAST
SCSI controller (Rev C, ROM 3.01e).

I had not trouble just hitching it up and turning everything on.  Why
can't you use _your_ SCSI Zip as a hard drive - on any machine??

I think the ZIP Drive is fantastic. I've owned one since September 1995
and only had one fault (a crack in the SCSI Cable) which was fixed
super-promptly.  I have no hesitation recommending it to people who have
SCSI cards.
