I actually do this with a Jaz drive. I keep Win95 on one Jaz disk and Linux
on another, and I also have a Zip drive on my SCSI chain for when I need to
transfer stuff back and forth. Apparently most SCSI controllers will only
allow you to boot from a device which has SCSI address zero, and the Zip
drive can only have addresses five or six.
