Amadeo, biz.yahoo.com What was particularly interesting was this part: >>''For certain classes of devices, the IEEE 1284.3 standard gives the parallel port significant advantages over the USB port like offering greater performance for higher-end printers, scanners, and imaging devices. This is particularly true as PCI-based parallel ports become available. With PCI, we can attain 3 to 5 Mbytes per second burst rates. This is significantly higher than today's ISA-based parallel ports and USB,'' said Stein.<< I wonder if the plain vanilla version of parallel port Zip drive could take advantage of this higher transfer rate. regards, Philip
