FireZip 250: The Zip Drive Iomega Wouldn’t Make

Now, I’m not exactly what you would call a retro hardware enthusiast, but even I knew Iomega never made a FireWire ZIP drive.

Hmm, this #ZIP250 drive stopped working some years ago, tried to fix it but can't find any schematics…

The ISD-200 USB-ATAPI chip doesn't seem talkative… nothing on the USB data lines. It does have a clock though.

Powers look ok, caps too…

Any idea?
