Be thankful that it doesn't cost twice as much for SCSI. SCSI cdroms seem to be twice as expensive as IDE cdroms here if you can find the SCSI version. I bought the external SCSI version of the zip drive. It cost about the same as a parallel version, except for 13% extra for an external cable, and about 50% extra in wasted time shopping for the cable. Bruce
