This allows transferring out bits as the drive head reads them. : : To use the old X-style cables, you need a printer port (LPT) on your PC's motherboard. This is because it is fast enough to read the bits streaming back. However, add-on PCI printer cards are not fast enough and will miss data. : : Nowadays, USB is plenty fast and you no longer need a printer port on the PC if you get a ZoomFloppy. : : The ZF has the added advantage with the 1571 of using the drive's special fast serial mode, which means you don't even need a parallel port in the drive. The X-cables can't use this mode. : : So that is the best combo if you want simple and easy imaging -- ZoomFloppy + 1571. -- [/quote]
