How can Zip replace the floppy if you can't boot off it? The new internal IDE Zip is non-bootable because it can only be configured as IDE slave. The internal SCSI Zip still is limited to SCSI IDs 5 and 6. (this information from Iomega's home page) So you still need your floppy to boot from if your bootable hard disk goes bad. And you still need a bootable hard disk. (the above is intended to apply to PCs, I believe a Mac can boot off SCSI IDs 5 and 6)
