Whether or not you can see the ZIP depends basically on 3 things:
1. You must have the 'Multiple disks' option switched on in the Novaxis
setup.
2. The Harddisk has to contain less than 6 partitions. Otherwise there's no
drive letter available for the ZIP (*). This problem can be overcome by
using a partition selection program, which enables you to assign drive
letters to partitions. It's available on ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx
somewhere.
The name is MAP.COM (Warning: there's also a MAP which disables
memory management in DOS2 so you can run DOS1 programs in DOS2)
3. The partitioning scheme on the ZIP has to be compatible with that of
the Novaxis.

Nope. It has to do with the FAT12 filesystem, and is not related to
the SCSI interface. Only MegaSCSI and the IDE i/f provide support
for FAT16 at the moment and thereby also offer partitions larger than
32 MB.
