[Duo2400] Re: PB2300c & Zip Drive Problems

You might try a regular DB-25 cable, like one used for serial ports on PC's. I had the same problem with a Iomega cable, it is in the landfill now, and use a regular cable. I use a regular cable on my Perfofma 6400 for my Iomega zip drive model number Z100S. It works with all my Mac's from this one to my Classic and Performa 200 and Duo 280c and Powerbook 160. The Iomega cable would not work correctly with my PII 300 BSD machine with a Adaptec 1540 SCSI card.

I am having some problems with two 2300c's and a zip drive. It's a SCSI drive (obviously) connected by way of a HDI-30 to DB-25 adapter and then to the Iomega-branded cable. The problem is that it simply refuses to mount. I've tried v4 & v6 drivers, but nada. System Profiler reports a 'Hard Drive' of unknown size of type Iomega Zip on the proper ID, but it won't mount. I've tried a 2300 running 7.6, and one running 8.1 (and 8.0 prior).

The mysterious thing is the same setup (zip, cable, adapter) works flawlessly on my two Powerbook 100's without a driver of any kind.

Thanks in advance for any help!
