Tony,
The parport zip shows up as a scsi device in linux ...
The problem most people have is remembering that a pre-formatted ZipDisk
shows up (assuming no other scsi drives) as /dev/sda4 (4th partition on
/dev/sda) whereas a reformatted zip disk shows up as /dev/sda1 (normally)
...
This can lead to confusion for anyone used to 'stick it in and it shows up'
drives under certain other OSs ...
