Unless you REALLY need the performance of a SCSI drive (for instance,
you have large datasets such as telescopes generate for us astronomers
and i.e. use disk-intensive reduction programs, or if you need to hook
your ZIPdrive up to, for instance, a workstation at work to load the data
for subsequent processing at home on your laptop), then you should save
your dollars and use the parallel port interface.
