Question: when did parallel ports become
bi-directional (i.e., useable for
zip drives and such)?
I've seen bi-directional capability in the BIOS of a GRiD 286 desktop
before. Before that, I can't really say.
Or, to put it another way, how likely would I be able
to (ignoring software
issues for the moment) hook up my new SyJet drive to say, my m100? What
about my DG-1?
That would be really cool, but sort of overkill, don'tcha think? I'd be
happy with a 1.44mb or 1.2mb floppy on an M100.
(P.S., off-topic tip: The Parallel port SyJet is
really a SCSI-2 SyJet
with a fancy cable; if you've already got SCSI, and can maybe use the
Parallel port feature...)
"What about the parallel version of the EZFlyer 230?" He said, still quite
untopically.
