Neil, I have an FD-4. Now I use an Orb Drive, but still, this should relate. My Orb drive does have it's own power source. The drive must be powered up and ready BEFORE I even turn on my FD-4. Otherwise, NO DISC or NO DRIVE is all I see on the screen. Now that may be your problem. Try it out. If your ZIP drive is powered through the SCSI connection, that may be your problem, I don't know if the FD-4 powers through the SCSI chain. You might want to check with Fostex on that. Hope that helps. Once you get that recorder to work you will thuroughly enjoy it--until you realize that 4 tracks aren't enough (that's my problem,now, I need more tracks).

Peace, Jim
 
thanks jim

the problem was the scsi cable was defective. 10 bucks and the problem was fixed. Thanks anyways. And you are right, 4 tracks is definately not enough!!!
