RE: Parallel SyJet uses SCSI?

Mark,

>> Could some parallel SyJet users confirm that parallel port SyJet
is just a SCSI drive with Parallel-to-SCSI adapter? <<


I really doubt that this is the case. It would be quite a bit more expensive to manufacture something like this (vs. just normal parallel). Also, if it is, the adapter is internal so you wouldn't be able to use it as SCSI without tearing it apart and rewiring the port to bypass the adapter.

AFAIK, Iomega's Zip Plus is the only device that offers an Auto-Detect Parallel/SCSI connection. I'd love to see that feature in other devices, though. Many people scoff that it's not a useful feature, but it provides the ultimate combination of compatibility and speed.
