Nothing 'logical' about that! The data transfer rate off the medium is the
limiting factor for the SCSI version. Now, parallel ports can go up to 2MB/s
using ECP protocol, but the medium is only capable of 1.4MB/sec. So if the
VP10 parallel port interface chip was better, then the parallel port version
would be just as fast.

You've been talking to the wrong people at Iomega, then. If you go straight
to the "horse's mouth" you'll get much better support. There's a big
difference between "customer support" and "tech support" :-) I could give you
the email address of their Zip guru, but I'de probably get shot, so I'de
better not!

A typical customer support hotline, IMHO.

Hmmm.... you've just been looking in the wrong places.
