print to scsi

I have got an offer about buying a cheap zip drive, but i has an print cable out NOT an scsi cable. Does it exist any print to scsi or usb to scsi or anything like that?

THX

by the way, nice forum!!!

You cant use anything but SCSI - there is no adapter that will work with an MPC.

You might have to phone around computer shops for a bit to get the right CABLE. thats what i did! good luck!

There is no right cable - if the zip uses a printer cable, it's a parallel port zip and will not work with an MPC no matter what cable you get - the MPC isn't as forgiving as a computer. :(

oh, sorry for the misinformation.
when i got first my scsi zip drive the cord fitted in to my printer port, but not the mpc. it obviously didnt work on the pc. thats what got me confused.
my apologies :roll:
