I have both a ram fast and a OEM apple scsi card.

The zip i have has switches for both termination and ID.. So ive tried 
all combinations.. 

After an afternoon of frustration i gave up.  

The ramfast appears to work, as it does go into bios and tries to scan.

The Zip works on a PC..  

Just the combination isnt happy.. 

Going to scare up a SCSI HD ( once i get an adaptor ) and try it too.
