This is a parallel port peripheral, right?  Doesn't the PC port have
more data lines than the Amiga?  I mean, I know that printers work the
same, but the parallel version of the Zip drive won't apparently work
with the Amiga because of this.  I guess you guys have checked on this
already, right?

Also, do you think you might release it as a standalone driver like
Endicor does with its Epson printer drivers?  Oh, BTW, congratulations
on the purchase of Aladdin 4D.
