I remember reading somewhere that the slower IDE devices (zip, LS-120) can be
connected externally to the parallel port. IDE devices are much cheaper than
their parport cousins. There is an obvious benefit to being able to
connect an internal zip drive (costs less by a half) to the parallel port.

Does anybody know how this is done? Or is this possible only through special
drivers.
