Wily ...thanks for the note at the Rande thread.. if anyone can help with this I'd appreciate it HI ... this is Kevin's wife, here ... Alicia. I installed the ZIP Parallel Port drive on a Dell Latitude CPi notebook with Windows NT 4.0 (SP 5). It worked FINE! Then I tried to use the pass-thru port for my printer, and my printer didn't work. So I shut down and restarted with the ZIP drive disconnected and my printer connected, and my printer worked OK. Then I shut down, disconnected the printer and reconnected the ZIP drive, powered back up ... ZIP drive DOES show up as E: , but when I try to access it, I get the error message: "E:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect." I have uninistalled and reinstalled the Iomega software and the driver (ppa3nt.sys) a ga-zillion times to no avail. Parallel port is set to "bidirectional" (was ECP, but Dell site said to use bi... didn't help though). I suspect that something got left behind when I uninstalled, so my reinstall isn't "fresh". After uninstalling, "Devices" (in control panel) still shows "ppa3nt" ... even though I've wiped out all the related files on the disk. I'm about to throw the thing out the Window and let Floyd take care of it!
