Re: Parallel Zip Drive with Executor?



As far as I know, Mac formatted Zip disks still do not work in
Executor with the parallel Zip drives.  I have exchanged e-mail with
Cliff about this, and he says it is something they plan to implement
before 2.0 if possible.  

Though an ASPI driver will allow the parrallel drive to be treated as
a SCSI drive, and while other mac-to-dos disk reading programs *are*
able to transfer the files, Executor does not support parrallel drives
yet.  Note this is only a problem with parrallel drives.  SCSI drives
have been known to read Mac formatted media.

If I am wrong, and if *anyone* has been successful in reading Mac
formatted Zip media with a parrallel Zip drive, please let me know.  I
am particularily interested in seeing if anyone has been able to do
this in Linux, now that the new experimental kernal, 1.3.76, supports
parrallel Zip drives.
