That matches with what I've discovered on some
(but not all) parallel
ZIP drives--the parallel version is a SCSI port replicator attached
to a standard SCSI drive. This does not include all parallel SCSI
ZIP drives, however.
In the "100M" ZIP drives (I don't know from other sizes), there was
"ZIP
parallel", "ZIP SCSI", and "ZIP Plus parallel & SCSI" (at a
slightly
higher price)
I don't doubt that could have all been SCSI internally, with a parallel
adapter, without it, or with an aut0-switching one.
