Can I make a bootable Zip disk?
It is quite easy to make a bootable disk, but you must own a
SCSI interface that supports autobooting, such as the Surf Squirrel
and the A3000. Owners of non-bootable SCSI devices, like the
Classic/original Squirrel would have to create a boot disk, using
the startup-sequence to mount the Zip. To create a bootable disk
simply insert a Zip disk, prep it as if it were a hard drive using
your favourite prepping package (such as the official Commodore
one, HDToolBox), partition it, setting it as a bootable device. Now
reboot and format the drive from Workbench.
