Mac Installation Guide
This section shows how to install the SCSI model of the Zip
®
drive on
a Mac or Mac-compatible computer. If you encounter any problems
while installing your Zip drive, refer to Troubleshooting on page 35.
Check your SCSI connection.
Your Zip drive meets SCSI-1 specifications and is designed to connect
to a standard 25 pin SCSI connection (which is available built-in on
most Macs and identified by the SCSI symbol oio). If your Mac does
not have a built-in SCSI connector, you will need a special adapter to
connect your Zip drive.

CAUTION Iomega internal testing indicates that the Zip drive works
when connected to the end of a Fast SCSI-2 or Ultra SCSI chain using a
high quality cable. However, the drive does not meet SCSI-2 or Ultra
SCSI specifications and may not work correctly in these configurations.
Data integrity could possibly be affected. M
If you choose to connect to a Fast SCSI-2 or Ultra SCSI chain rather
than a Mac standard SCSI connection, make sure the Zip drive is
always connected at the end of the chain. The Zip drive does not
operate at Fast SCSI or Ultra SCSI speeds but should not slow the
performance of other devices if it is connected at the end of the chain.
