Ok, but what version of the Zip drive did you use? (just for future
reference)

And about the network install: i WILL go read the doc's on it, but do you do
it over the serial link? or ethernet?

Thanks

P.S. Re: the firmware update
I have the latest, and i dont think they're going to be upgrading any more,
considering the dec ftp site says the product's "discontinued." you can get
the firmware update at ftp.digital.com
