|
<P>The Iomega ZIP drive is a popular, removable media disk drive.
|
|
It is avaliable in several versions.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> Parallel Port</LI>
|
|
<LI> SCSI</LI>
|
|
<LI> IDE - ATAPI</LI>
|
|
<LI> Plus </LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
The most popular seems to be the Parallel port version. It has been
|
|
around a long time and it is low cost. The SCSI version has also been
|
|
around for a while but it needs a scsi card that many people do not have
|
|
already, so it it not quite as popular. The ATAPI version now seems
|
|
to be more available. The Plus is the newer version of the ZIP drive.
|
|
It has the capability to detect what port its plugged into, scsi or
|
|
parallel. This document will focus on the Parallel port version, but
|
|
also offer some tips for other versions.
