[seul-edu] External ZIP drives

[Dave Prentice <dprentice@uno.edu>]

Hello,
    Does anybody have experience using external ZIP drives (parallel
interface) with Linux? I know the internal IDE types should be fine, but I
was wondering if anybody has successfully used the parallel version. The one
at my house work fine under Win95, but I never could get it to work with RH
7.0.
    I was thinking that the external type might be an easy way to move
100meg or less from (non-networked) machine to machine at school, especially
now that OpenOffice.org is available for both Win and Linux. Not all the
machines have CDs, so it seems like zip might be the way to go.
