Title: External zip drives & OS 3.9
Post by: pooop on October 25, 2005, 12:27:21 AM

Does OS 3.9 recognise external zip drives, if so I can put the internal one in the PC and transfer data quickly and easily. If not then "Bugger!" :boohoo:

External as in SCSI, yes, but not the parallel type.

Hi,

The parallel Zip drives can be used if you're prepared to build a simple adaptor that plugs into the parallel port and the joystick port. Details can be found on Aminet, here (http://main.aminet.net/package.php?package=hard/hack/ppazip.lha).
