Solve : ZIP drive?

Answer»

I am in NEED of a cable that can connect my ZIP drive (external ZIP 250, parallel port) through a USB connection, since my HP Pavilion does not have a parallel printer port. I find several parallel to USB cables for PRINTERS, but most REVIEWS say they don't work with external drives. Is it possible to connect one of these to a machine running Vista? Thanks.Hi

First idea would be to add a PCI parallel port card if it is a desktop PC.

Or find a computer you can connect the zip drive to and transfer the disks to cd or a pendrive

Because of the way the IOMEGA driver accesses the parallel port you need a physical port not a USB to parallel adapter
