Well, it could conceivably be PC serial. That's only about $15 to
convert Mac serial or you can use a PC serial to USB adapter. But,
it doesn't clear up whether the Zip drivers would work with such a

John is correct, it HAS to be a different port. Definitely *_NOT_*
Mac serial.
Besides, using a Mac serial connection would just be tooooo slooow.
Iomega used to have a trade-in/trade-up program for older devices
if it's still going that might be a better solution with Paul's
newer Mac.

I have a serial port ZIP drive which works well and I'd like to
use it with my eMac which of course has USB & Firewire ports. Are
there any adaptors which change the serial plug to one of the

A: are you sure you don't mean parallel port?
B: It may actually be a hybrid if it is a parallel port drive.
Later models worked on both parallel and SCSI.
I've never heard of a serial port drive.
