Thought I'd share this with the list. I was unable to burn CD's or read Zips. I have one Zip disk called the "Mule" because I use it to transport files from my PC to my Beige 266 G3 with 9.2.2 OS. Been using it for many months without any problems. After 6 or 7 serious freezes and numerous re-building of desktops and trashing and changing preferences, I was ready to do a clean install of the OS. After sleeping on it, I checked the termination and cables on the chain and 250 Zip one more time. Since the drive was the last in the chain, the slider switch on the back had been moved to termination. The slider is small and hard to get to and I had changed it when re-arranging my scsi chain and checking addresses in an attempt to make things work. Apparently the switch was not moved to the full extent of its travel. Once I did this with the help of a pen, the Zip drive worked with absolutely no problems! No more problems burning CD's either. The main thing I wanted to share is to use the rule of Parsimony...that is, always do the simple things first when attempting to solve a problem. Works for me.
