actually I have a scsi ZIP drive
and it is possible to run it on straght scsi.. I do here.
basically you just need the scsi card and a standard external scsi cable
to fit.
the only propriety bit was the stupid little dongle that you had
attached to either end of the cable. i've run it fine here on standard
scsi using a normal scsi pc-card.
the other thing, watch out for the head crashing problem. as it tends to
knacker the disks.... if u start getting a clunking sound then look up
on google. there was a site which had a fix for it, but i forget what it
was.

The site you are thinking of is Gibson Research, I suspect.

Is the "stupid little dongle" you are talking about the thing that
changed a standard 50-pin high density scsi connector to a 25-pin D
connector? That is a somewhat standard kind of a dongle. You can buy
cables that do the same translation.
