The SCSI Zip drives do act as normal SCSI drives (though they have a limited number of SCSI ids available. (5 & 6 if I remember correctly.) Later drives may have this changed.) The problems i am encountering are due to the _parellel_ version of the Zip drive. (I bought it because I needed to be able to visit customer sites and not all of them have SCSI.) The drivers fake a scsi port. (Some laptops use a similar driver to attach hard drives to non-scsi systems.)
Hmmm - I've got the Syquest parallel-port drive. Syquest offers SCSI and IDE flavors of their drive - and the parallel port version emulates IDE (don't know if it's EIDE or vanilla IDE...) #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215 pager 408-787-1281 # "At year's end, however, new government limits on Internet access threatened # to halt the growth of Internet use.
