I own a EMU ESI4000 turbo...

How do I replace the floppy disk drive with a zip drive?

Can anyone help?

well if it's got a scis port use that would be easiest and leave the floppy drive in place, I mean assuming you can still get a scsi zip drive external, I havent looked at iomega's stuff for years tbh.

Hi,
I've logged in properly this time  
What I want is to replace the floppy with a zip, I need instructions or a guide of some kind.
I have multiple zip drives... but im wanting to upgrade the ESI-4000, to an ESI-4000ZIP.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

nah, too risky..
I cant afford to blow something.
I've already upgraded the memory, but I'm not prepared to start messing around with power cables and scsi ports.

thanks all the same tho

hmm... i remember wanting to do the same with my ESI 2000 years ago, but then giving up. i think the floppy model simply doesnt have an internal scsi port or something. or i might be talking bollox. sorry

Ok if you have an esi turbo it would have the zip already in place of the floppy, if you have just
the normal esi 4000 as i do it is physically imposible as built in floppy drive is way smaller than
zip drive and the hole left in sampler will not acomodate a zip, have you got a scsi connector on
the back as this is the only way this will connect to a zip drive, if not then is there a blanking
panel which allows a scsi to be fitted, if so ebay for a scsi adaptor and away u go, although
might be easier to track down a esi turbo which has zip installed.
good luck
Malk

I replaced the floppy in my ESi-32 not long ago, and it's pretty straightforward. You just need to attach a internal 50-pin ribbon cable to the internal SCSI port and branch off the power using a molex y-slpitter or a floppy to molex converter.
