Non-Iomega SCSI Adapters The Zip Insider is shipped with a Zip zoom board which should be used with your new drive. However, if you wish to use a non-Iomega SCSI adapter, the Zip Insider is a high performance drive that will work with any SCSI adapter that has a compatible ASPI manager for Windows/DOS or 32-bit miniport driver for Windows 95. (If you are not sure that your adapter is 100% ASPI or Windows 95 compatible, contact the dealer where you purchased the adapter or the adapter manufacturer.
SCSI Guidelines The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an industry standard for connecting peripherals to most personal computers. SCSI rules define how to connect more than one SCSI device to the same SCSI connection (either built-in or from a SCSI host adapter). SCSI "Chain" A SCSI chain is a series of SCSI devices cabled one to another on a single SCSI connection. You can add your Zip drive to a SCSI chain.
