Did I really see this or am I just imagining things? .... Booting from a Zip drive works fine. (Actually, I think the Zip connected through the RamFAST does a faster boot than our 80MB Focus hard drive. But, the Zip drive's disks get swapped in and out; so, we usually boot System from the Focus.) If you want to boot from the Zip drive, the SCSI ID should be set to the highest number of any devices on the SCSI chain. And, to regularly boot from the Zip, you should probably put your SCSI card in Slot 7 with the Control Panel Slots boot setting at "Scan". Rubywand
