[Coco] [Color Computer] Iomega SCSI internal zip drive on ebay

[Ray Watts]

Mark,  I have not seen a way, or read in the manual, how to disable 
parity.  However, the internal ZIP has an advantage over the external in 
that you can strap it for any drive # from 0 to 7 with jumpers.  I've 
never tried booting up with a ZIP as /h0, but I see no reason why you can't.

Cheers,   Griz
