    Hey guys
    Quick question cause i know you guys are pretty knowledgeable on here!
    Is it possible to hook up a zip drive via a super ufo 6s paralell port and use it like a hard drive? Any help would be appreciated!

    The UFO 6 is older than Zip drives... But the answer is nope, not even if you reprogrammed the BIOS, the UFO hardware isn't configured to act as a host. The only unit designed for Zip drive use is the SWCDX2 which has not insignificant hardware and software additions to make it work.

    You can get floppy disk emulators with USB ports on the front and have 99 'virtual' floppy images on them (read/write support) if you want to replace all the floppies with a single USB.
