Zip drive not working under DOS 6.2

[Chuck(G)]

Good choice. I was about to post and suggest against the Parallel idea although yes it's nicely compatible with vintage PCs but it's pretty damn slow for practical use. SCSI is sorta neat also since a lot of vintage systems will see it as an external hard drive (Amiga, Mac, etc).

Parallel depends a lot on the vintage of the interface and the adapter. Using a peripheral that ECP/EPP compatible with an appropriately-parallel-port-equipped PC can turn in very respectable (>1MB/sec) datarates. A Zip drive is perfect in this situation.

OTOH, transferring data via nibble mode on an SPP-type port can be very slow.
