yes sir--

the parrell zip allows you to use an external zip drive throu the parrellel port/printer port on your pc.

otherwise your computer would need a scsi card. and they dont build too many computers with a scsi card. (their generally an option)

he has the pc parrellel port version zip drive. he needs the scsi version for the MPC.

these link will show you where you went wrong.

here are the different drives for different connections USB, SCSI ,FIREWIRE, ATAPI, and Parrellel Port.

250 scsi

take note to no. 6.

you have the wrong drive. the cable doesnt matter if you dont have the right device. the MPC uses the SCSI connection.

That's the one right there kid.You'll probably be able to cop one with the cable for cheap off the bay.
