That sounds like it might be normal... Some PC's have quicker parallel ports (if the drivers will support them) - but even my PP200 goes 'dozy' when copying stuff to the Zip, no matter if it's under '95, NT, DOS or BSD... :-( In fact, I was really wishing I'd bought the SCSI one instead... ;-) Kp Charles Henrich wrote: > > Does anyone know of any zip drivers that are in user space, or behave nicely > in kernel space?
