i have an old parallel port zip drive sitting around from my days as a windoze user. is there a way to connect it to my mac? i have an iBook 300mhz, but my printer (epson stylusscan 2500) has a parallel port. anyone ever try this before? does it work?

You'd probably do better swapping out on eBay! (sell yours, buy a USB)

For the price of converters and the like it be cheaper to buy a new drive, IF they even make such a beast.
