Can you use parallel port version with FreeBSD?

Have'nt tried the Zip with FreeBSD.... EZ135 works great though...

I have, I have zip working through the 50 pin ribbon connector on the back of my Adaptec 1542C, and it works fine. Not slow, has been reliable. Probably a lot slower if you use the parallel port version.

How do you think the speed be using the Zip with a SCSI-1 controller versus the parallel port version? How much slower is SCSI-2 from SCSI-2? I ask because my machine has a built-in SCSI-1

^ ^ huh?

controller, and I the expense of adding a SCSI-2 controller may not be an option for supplimentary secondary storage.

Somebody else will have to handle that one, I've no experience with SCSI-1.
