To make a long story short, # i got the zip drive when i had windows on my laptop. Then i made the # switch. Rather than scrap good hardware, i kept it, and i could also use it # to move data from dos/windows machines to *nix easily. I also like random # access storage. DVD-RAM ;-) hehe... j/k I haven't touched a parallel port Zip drive in a long while, and always had either an internal IDE, external SCSI or USB Zip Drive when I dealt with those drive and FreeBSD. # Has anyone used USB tape drives under BSD with success ? I personally haven't. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
