Zip® parallel port |
 |
The Zip® drive is available in a portable external model that conveniently connects to the parallel (or printer) port of your computer. It's simple to connect and very practical for those who expect to move their drive from one computer to another. The performance of your parallel port Zip drive will leave your floppy in the dust, but for even faster performance, you may want to check out the Zip SCSI or Zip Plus specs.
