>WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET A IOMEGA PARALLEL ZIPDRIVE WORKING ON MY AMIGA You won't. The parallel port on the Amiga is slightly different than the parallel port on the PC. There are some signals on the PC that are not on the Amiga. There are many people who have anounce that they were working on a drive to allow the Amiga PP to be used in the same mannor as the PC. None has ever come up with a good general case driver. There are quite a few neat devices available which attach to the PC PP that could be used on the Amiga if such a driver were available. Also, please use lower case in the future. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING IF YOU DON'T. Bill Roberts — Autopilot from Ellettsville, Indiana

I would have thought it would be quite easy to add the signals, you could just steal them from the serial or joystick ports. It is not ideal but it _WOULD_ work Phill
