Just want to know if I bought Zip drive, which version (SCSI vs
Parallel) should I purchase?  Some people told me that the SCSI
version is faster, but the Parallel port version is more portable.  So
I'm interested in knowing what much the speed difference was.  If the
speed difference is small, the Parallel Port version seems to be
better.
