Ollivier Robert stands accused of saying: > > A friend of mine just told me that someone has written a driver for ZIP > drives over parallel interface. Anyone interested should look at > > <URL:http://www.prism.uvsq.fr/~son/ppa3.html>; ... this actually goes further and is infact a driver for the parallel-port SCSI adapter that the Zip uses. Performance appears to be _very_ poor (around 15k/sec), but could probably be tweaked. The driver is quite compact and looks very tidy. I don't have one of these to play with or I would, but does anyone know what the SCSI/parallel adapter the Zip uses is? > Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
