Dear Michael,

I think a scsi-to-parallel driver already exists under linux
(I think I read about a parallel ZIP drive working with linux).

Does anybody know if thats right and how that works? Perhaps
thats a driver that does all the work and for the software it
is like a scsi-device with a special name like /dev/parscsi,
then it should be no (big) problem.

Please could you mail it to me!
