yeah, could be a bad zip disk or a bad drive. Does the zip drive do anything once you scroll to channel 5? If it starts and the zip gets moving then it's probably drive or disk that is stalling. If you get absolutely no connection between the mpc and the drive then maybe the fuse. I would see if you can hook up someone else's zip drive and test the scsi connection. If it works then you can just assume it's a bad drive or bad disk.

i have used multiple zipdisk drives and multiple cords. I am starting to believe that it may be the fuse, does anyone know of any way to fix that with out it costing hundreds of dollars to do so.
