Date: Fri, 05 Jul 1996 07:36:06 GMT Organization: Adhesive Media, Inc. Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4ri9ko$n87@boris.eden.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: net-2-082.austin.eden.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Has anyone ever built a driver for Iomega Zip drives? Or... Can the drive be used as a regular scsi drive? (or as a parallel port device, whatever the case may be) Any info would be great. I'm seeking a backup method without investing in a tape drive. I recently transferred some large files to a mounted msdos drive, and immediately after, my entire filesystem looked as if it had passed through the meat grinder. fsck told me tales of all sorts of weird huge files belonging to nonexistent groups/users. Everything other than / was toast. Sound familiar? -Doug Conley
