i presume you're talking about the Zip Plus drives? Funny you should
mention them... we just had a discussion about them on another mailing
list i'm on. The gist of it was, they're faster than the old Zips,
but canNOT be daisy-chained, either parallel port (with for ex. a
QuickCam), OR SCSI (with say, an external hard drive, or _even_ a
PowerBook HDI-30->25 pin adapter).

That's bad.

Has something to do with the way the drive autosenses whether you're
in parallel or SCSI mode. It's a known and acknowledged problem too:
