RE: esi32 + internal zip drive
EMU told me that the cable differs wether your ESI is an old or more recent ones. The old ones (like mine) have a separate SCSI option board, which has two connectors (one for the external socket and another one which I think is for internal drives) and the others have SCSI on the main board, and only one connector. For this type apparently you need the 3 connectors cable. The older type needs a standard (cheaper) cable, that converts from 40 pin (on the ESI) to the connector on the zip, which is smaller...
EMU sells this cable, for about $7, as well as the power cable (but maybe you can use the one from the floppy...). But I hope computer stores sell this as well, as I don't plan to wait 2 more weeks just for a cable...
I just received my scsi internal zip and haven't tried anything yet... I don't even know if it needs to be terminated (I guess yes).
Unfortunately the emu archive isn't really explicit on that topic, especially with the different ESI 32 versions...
to be continued.........
