Comment:

I am looking for the best way to backup the os2 c: partition thru the parallel port. I am looking for hardware and software. Last I heard the malaysia zip drives are not supported in os2, but the phillipine drives are? If this is true, is there drivers for the malaysia drives now available. Or just forget the zip drive and go with a better alternative?

Thanks.

use an external parallel port hard drive.
Buy the case, put whatever size drive you want. Install the driver. Then copy as a normal hard drive parition, using xcopy, scopy etc. Much simpler than zip drives
