According to Iomega's home page, the Zip is available in two internal models, SCSI and IDE. The SCSI has the same unit ID restriction as the external, only IDs 5 and 6 are supported. The IDE has the surprising restriction of being only a slave device. This means that Iomega has made it impossible to use a Zip drive of any type for a bootable device. This is a real shame, I would have bought a third Zip drive if I could have set it up as bootable.
