SPFG, Supreme Picture Framing God
I'm not sure which thread this was discussed on, but my old, external Zip100 recently started "clicking". Figuring it was toast and wanting a Zip250 anyway so we could share bigger files with our other 3 computers that have them, we bought a new one. The problem is, I don't know were to connect it to the computer. It says it uses a scsi drive and I think I might have one (the computer has info on scsi's) but I can't figure out which port it would be. The only one that looks like the scsi is the printer port, but that isn't right. The manual warns against connecting to the printer port. My husband tried chaining the printer through the zip like the old one was, but neither the printer nor the zip worked.
I have several empty connectors on the back. This computer is a few years old, is it possible that one of them is a different type of scsi? How do I know? It looks like you can get adaptors for different ones.
By the way, I already have a cd burner so don't suggest getting one instead. I like the reusablity of the zips for files that change (like financial data) and for things we only need to store for a short time. Cds and Dvds are for long term storage.
