Dear Glen,
Yes, I have a blue & white tower. A "Mac" friend tried to install the
Zip Internal 250 for me & after he got the face plate off (which is
just below the disk drive drawer), he said it was too large to fit the
opening. It was attached to a platform mounting. I do work on my Mac
(well my old 6500), but have not done much on the B&W G3/G/4 so took
his word for it. Perhaps I should explore this further? I would like a
250 (even saw a 750 unit at Fry's this week). I will also explore the
Adaptec card, too. Thanks so much.
Ginny

I upgraded the CPU to a G-4 500, added memory & added another hard
drive. It
has room for 3 hard drives & I now have two in it. It also has a slot
for an
internal Zip Drive, BUT the ones available now (250s & 750s) will not
fit the
zip drive slot (too large) My question is, does anyone know where I
can get an
Omega Zip Internal 100 for it?

I have an external Zip 100 in perfect shape, but it was daisy chained
on my
old Mac to a SCZI port & they told me at the electronic store (Fry's)
that
there was no kind of connector that would allow you to connect a SCZI
device to a
USB hub or port. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
I assume you have a Blue and White tower and not an IMac?
The form factor for the IDE ZIP 250 is the same as the Zip 100. I
replaced
the ZIP 100 with a 250 in my G4 tower and could have done in my B & W.
If you want to use the external SCSI ZIP you just need a low end
internal
SCSI card. The Adaptec 2930 which I believed shipped with the B & W
and can be
had on the LEM SWAP list for $20 or less. Good luck --glen (digest
