James;
The internal ZIP Drive has a SCSI interface. From a marketing point of 
view, it makes sense that Iomega would use the same physical drive and 
only add a parallel port (off the shelf) for the SCSI interface and a 
case to the external ZIP Drive total package. Parallel port SCSI adapters 
have existed for quite a while. Companies can't afford to "re-invent the 
wheel" everytime. It's cheaper and faster to buy and integrate it, if you 
can.
