Hi,

The original parallel port Zip drive plus Aminet hack and driver work fine, but slowly!

Never had any issues with things being mangled, so the driver is pretty solid. And using the likes of XFS with it gives access to long filenames on PC-formatted Zip disks.

zip drives are slow enough to start with! Do yourself a favor - find a SyQuest EZ-135 (or 270 or?) SCSI.


True, and the parallel version is the slowest of them all! But... once the (very cheap to build) interface has been built, at least it can be used on a basic unexpanded and HDD-less Amiga...
