Unless the card has a BIOS on it, it's not bootable.
The devices on the terminating ends of the scsi chain need to be terminated.
This would appear to be the zip drive for sure and which ever of your cd's
that's on the end of the internal cable. Be sure to disable termination
on the scsi card as it's not on the end of the chain with an external
device.
