Brian,
That depends on how the old drive parameters were established. If they were set automatically by the bios, there is a good chance that the new PC bios will match them (or can be forced to). If they were set with software that came with the drive then it is iffy. Anyway check the bios settings before you move it and then see if it retains them in the new system. As long as you don't write to it you'll be OK. An alternative that works quite well is laplink software and cable, which should be cheaper than a drive specialist (A parallel zip drive would probably be cheaper as well).

Good luck,
Steve
