I had a similar problem with my Zip drive after I got it new...look on the back...there are 2 switches that you can flip...The SCSI id # setting and the Termination on/off setting. Suggestion #1..Make sure that the SCSI # set on the Zip is NOT the same as anything else that you have hooked up..burner, scanner, etc....If you go into the System Profiler and check Devices and Volumes it will show you the ID# of anything SCSI that it detects. I have mine set to id 6. Suggestion #2... Play with the Term Power on/off switch.. try it with the setting On and then with it off and see what happens....I have mine set to Off, but I have a Belkin SCSI/USB converter that has a seperate Terminator power adapter included. I would unhook anything connected to the computer and just try to get the drive to run by itself....It took me a few tries to get it set properly when I first hooked mine up....The fun and games began when I added a SCSI scanner and burner and had to rework it again...I did get it to work finally though. An additional note....Make sure that the Zip is at the END of the chain if there is nothing that provides it's own termination . My set up is...SCSI burner to Zip to SCSC/USB Adapter to iMac SE 400...Again, make sure of he settings on the ZIip and whether anything else is providing Termination Power.. Hope this helps...
