No, plugs into any scsi interface, so you'll allready have scsi.device
software. If you buy the Zip drive from HiSoft they supply s/w utils
for use with their drives. Not sure exactly what you get for the extra
�50 quid or so. I am aware that the s/w enables you to write protect the
disks. I'm not paying �50 quid above the odds for the s/w !
