Before anyone else says "is this one on the wish list?", I have done
a Zip parallel port driver. It's essentially cribbed from Linux.

It does nibble mode only so works with anything, just not quickly 
(reads are about 5mb a minute, writes double that). Anyone interested 
in testing it, let me know. It looks like a SCSI driver, so as soon 
as it's installed you can use scuzz, dossrv, etc.. It should even co-
exist with a printer on the same port, but I haven't tried that.

Happy Christmas, and a Microsoft free New Year,
