What About A Parallel Port Zip Drive? |
|
Answer» This is theoretically possible, but would require a very extensive amount of WORK. Your best BET is to get a SCSI Zip drive, and connect that to an Apple II SCSI card, and use that. Here's a RUNDOWN on the problems with a PARALLEL Zip drive: such a connection requires a bidirectional (2way communication) parallel card. 95+% of all Apple II parallel cards are UNIDIRECTIONAL and won't work, except for the rather rare Apple Profile controller card.
