Well...  If your using DOS or Windows 3.1 or so the parallel version
works pretty well.
My parallel Zip-drive transfers at about 9 Megs a minute.
The parallel Zip-drive will NOT work with Windows NT.
The SCSI version might.
The first one I bought broke after about a week.  It just clicked and
clicked.  I heard that this was a problem with earlier created drives
that was fixed.  My new one works fine.  Cost $200 bucks at Circuit
City.
