Identify and test zip drive TGB
A friend clearing his house has given me a Iomega Zip drive. He hadn't been able to make it work. No documentation but s/n RCGH29A6CU and on another label
DDXZ100S2, 02649B03, Z100S2.
From the diagram on the back it would appear that it needs a SCSI board - is there any way of confirming this.
In either case SCI or not, is there any way to find out if works - waste of time buying a board if it's busted!
(I don't know anyone with a zip drive)

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You'll need a SCSI adapter to test it. No other way that I know of.

Isn't it possible to check the mechanical things?

I suppose you could plug in a drive power cable and see if you can insert and eject a disk. I doubt, however, that this will tell you much other than some part of the drive works.

Of course - it's a start!

Half points! but very usefull - now for the other half - is there a way to check whether it's functioning as I don't know anyone with a fitted board who might try it for me
