: ...and given that even three developers by now have already been : pissed of by the terrible floppy-tape handling _via the well- : documented FDC_ (ok, comparably well-documented), i doubt anybody is : going to burn his time and wrestle his brain in such a device. I know that the Linux folks have a driver for the parallel version of the zip drive. Basically, the parallel version of the zip drive has a parallel port -> scsi adapter built into it, but still costs the same or a little less than the pure scsi version. Go figure. If people are wanting something like this on FreeBSD, they might do well to take a look at the Linux drivers. I have no clude if they are sane, insane, documented or not. I just know that some Linux work that I've done prompts me for this interface now :-) Warner
