Scott Brown stands accused of saying: > Can I install 2.2.1 directly from an Iomega Zip-parallel drive? No. > Once installed, will the system support that drive? There is a driver for the SCSI-parallel converter used with those drives, which is reported to work fairly well. Be aware that the driver is _slow_ due to the nature of the interface. If you possibly can, avoid purchasing one, or if you have just purchased one, try to exchange it for a 'real' SCSI version. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
