I don't know about those hideous parallel things (I'd *strongly*
recommend SCSI -- in fact, I'd strongly recommend SCSI *everything*),
but with my internal SCSI zip, the first thing I do is nuke the MS
filesystem and put UFS on it. No need for "MS Tools" or whatever,
UNLESS you intend to swap these things with MS machines, in which case,
you don't have a choice.
