I remember this being on one of the incarnations of the old forum, but I don't seem to have it anywhere. is there anything special to setting up a SCSI Zip under NS3.3? Have a couple drives and enough disks so I though that I might as well use it... Thanks for the help.

Nope, just pick an unused address and stick it on there. NS is smart enough to recognize it as a zip 100. You can even format it FAT, MacOS (HFS) or NS native.

That is cool!
As I recall pre-6.5 IRIX would balk at zip disks that weren't HFS. Nice to know that NeXT did a better job.
Thanks for the help. Dropped it on yesterday, powered the station back up and ture enough =) It was interesting to see the loader ID it as a Zip 100 on SCSI whatever... very easy to install. Can't say that I have an immedate use for it, but the extra space will be nice. Plus I have this drive and one other just collecting dust with about two dozen disks. Thanks again for the help...
Glad it worked.
