Well spotted. My old Zip100 drive was very reluctant to work with any other device on an IDE channel, and, when I upgraded to a CDRW drive, I was happy to get rid of the Zip drive in exchange for a couple of bottles of beer.
Hum - it was working OK in the previous incarnation of that box (PIII-450)
Anthony> Do you really need the Zip100 drive? DVDRW is very affordable now and you get 4GB to a standard disk (which equals 40 Zip100 disks!).
I have DVD-RW in the box, but I use the zip a lot for editing text and jpegs, though I transfer stuff now with a memory stick. I suppose it's not *ESSENTIAL*, but it's handy. I suppose (since HD0 and HD1 are both in caddies, I could use HD1 as a FO big zip drive...
I do have a SCSI zip I could try instead, though.
