- The incompatibility is there, believe me! I have a CD rom and ZIP drive
- inoperable for some time now :-((( They still don't know what is causing it
- and they don't know if they can fix this. So your squirrel must go to rest.
- Better buy for you anyway is to get SCSI-II for A1260 (as I will do), as it is
- a lot faster and it will work together :-)))

- PS - You can even boot from Blizzard SCSI-II HD
