Try www.transarc.com - they sold AFS for Solaris (and several other
OS'es) last I heard.

I don't think You ever will get a parallel port Zip-100 drive up and
running on a Sun Ultra 5 or any other Sun for that matter.
There is no internal USB version of the Zip-drive, use the internal IDE
instead. A SCSI or IDE (internal) should run very fine.
I have a USB Zip running on my Sun Blade 100.

No, a parallel port Zip drive will not work on an Ultra 5. Parallel port
devices are proprietary, and the manufacturer of the devices are responsible
for choosing which operating systems to support. Iomega chose not to support
Solaris SPARC.

I actually manage to make the SUN OS notice that there is something
on the parallel port. I manage to make the Zip drive give some respons
but I don't manage to make it work fully (yet).
I may be a hack or two away, but life is short and I have an old
internal IDE Zip lying around (from the slaughter of an old PC)
and a USB one as well, so I'll abandon my project and use the IDE unit.

Linux has a driver for the parallel Zip drive. While it most likely can't beQuote:> I actually manage to make the SUN OS notice that there is something
