Answer» can anyone tell me where I can get a problem free driver download for a zip 100 parallel port so I can RUN it on comp OSXP cause my machine doesn't have a floppy drive and that's what what my old driver is stored on. www.driverguide.com Register for free, don't sign up for paid anything.I don't think Zip drives can read normal floppies, can they? I KNOW the SuperDisk does, but I don't think the ZIP drives can. EDIT: a quick search tells me that no, they can't.

EDIT: a quick search tells me that no, they can't. I think what he means is the Zip driver he has is stored on a floppy disk, & computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive. So all he needs is a way to download the driver. BTW, I used to have a Zip100USB. It was a POS. Zip Parallel was worse. Stored it away when I got a parallel to SCSI converter cable for external SCSI HD's, then an HD-45 hard drive enclosure with both parallel & PCMCIA interfaces. Retired the HD-45 for external USB IMAGE BACKUP a couple years ago.
