Have a ? about parallel hardware specically for the Amiga
« on: July 12, 2003, 11:54:13 AM »
Does anyone remember hardware for the parallel zip drive?
I'm not talking about ppazip.lha.
This was connected to the parallel & disk drive ports on any Amiga and sold for around $50.

I thought it plugged into the parallel and joystick port..
since the Amigas parallel port doesn`t have enough data&control lines compared to a PCs port..so they had to graft the extra lines off the joyport.

I'll have to dig out my old Amazing Computing mag for the ad once I get fully moved which I'm now currently in process of to get all the info.
I think you right about the joystick port as I wasn't positive about the second port.
