Before you connect that CD-ROM to a PC's parallel port you need to make certain it'll work or if there's some manual switch you have to flip or if it has two different connectors. (The Iomega Zip 100 Plus was one. Apparently it had some problems. Iomega didn't continue the SCSI/LPT design to later versions.) SCSI uses a "diamond" icon. Parallel ports are labeled LPT, Printer, or Parallel or will have an icon that sort of looks like a printer. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
