- This is a parallel port peripheral, right? Doesn't the PC port have
- more data lines than the Amiga? I mean, I know that printers work the
- same, but the parallel version of the Zip drive won't apparently work

- Endicor does with its Epson printer drivers? Oh, BTW, congratulations
- on the purchase of Aladdin 4D.
