>> 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. << Michael, The SyJet is a SCSI drive. Syquest just includes a Parallel-to-SCSI converter (plus drivers) in the "parallel port version". Since the converters add only about (my guess) $5-$15 (in volume) to the product cost, I suspect Syquest decided it was easier to market the product at one price. It appears from your post that you have not owned/used the EPP SyJet. I'll refrain from commenting on the new Zip Plus (I haven't tried one yet), but my recollection of the original Zip drive [used them for a week about a year ago] is that they used the same technology as the SyJet's to do the EPP-SCSI interfacing.
