[H-GEN] Zip drives?

[Marc Dergacz]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Marc Dergacz <excal at kermit.humbug.org.au>)

The Zip drives are simply a SCSI device.. plug them into your SCSI card
and thats it.. but if you have the parallel version then you will have to
read the HOWTO and see how to setup the SCSI over parallel (unless you
already know).
