that provides a standard Mac SCSI connector. If you do not have
one, you will need an HDI-SCSI adapter for the data cable before
you can connect the ZIP Drive to a PowerBook. Check with your
computer dealer, or call EPSON at 1-800-922-8911 to order a
PowerBook adapter.
PC USERS
You need a SCSI connection to connect the ZIP Drive to your PC.

Make sure you connect the ZIP cable to a SCSI connector
and NOT to a parallel port (printer port). The parallel port is the same
size and shape as some SCSI adapter connectors, but the parallel port
will not support this model of the ZIP Drive.
n If your adapter has a 50 pin SCSI connector: Use a 25 to
50 pin SCSI cable or cable converter to connect the ZIP Drive.
If you need a cable or converter, call your computer dealer or
contact EPSON at 1-800-922-8911.

Optional: You can connect other SCSI devices
to the ZIP Drive using another SCSI cable
(usually a 25 to 50 pin cable).
You can also connect the ZIP Drive to the end of an existing
SCSI chain by using a 25 to 50 pin SCSI cable or by using a cable
converter with the ZIP data cable. When connecting the ZIP
Drive to other SCSI devices, check the SCSI Guidelines in the
“Using Your ZIP Drive” section to make sure the SCSI ID and
termination on your ZIP Drive are set correctly.
