Can I somehow 'hack' (I can use soldering iron - if needed :) ) my
parallel port ZIP into talking directly to SCSI (while still retaining the
parallel port capabilities)? I do have SCSI in my box, but I often take
the ZIP to other people (usually no SCSI there). 

Would that improve speed on my box? That would be great...
