Has anyone tried hooking up a ZIP drive to an SGI's parallel port?
I have a ZIP drive for my home PC which I was wondering if/how I could connect
it to my SGI at work. Do I need any special software, etc?
Thanks,
Denny

It won't work. You need the scsi version.

Has anybody tested the scsi-version of zipdrive in SGI Indy? Any conflicts
with other SCSI-peripherals?
It worked for me; mediad won't work with it (i.e., ignores it) and 5.2
mediad would try to treat it as a floppy. Just treat it like an M-O
or other removable hard disk drive (use the dksc driver).
Some folks reported problems with it; might have been different firmware.

1. How can I use my Zip Parallel Port drive on my O2?
Hello,
I urgently need to transfer files from my WinNT box to my O2. I'm having
some serious trouble with my network so I am unable to transfer files through
my network. I also don't have a modem connected to my O2, so ftp is not possible.
The only immediate solution I have is to use my slow Zip parallel port drive.
The drive is connected to my WinNT box and the zip disks are dos formatted.
Can anyone tell me how I can get access to my Zip parallel port drive on
my O2? I specifically need to know what cable I need to hook up the drive to
the O2 since the O2 doesn't have a parallel port, but 2 serial ports.
Thanks,
- Tony
