Well, the drive may have croaked, hard to say. The parallel port driver is not necessary, but it having an error is not an issue for the IDE Zip drive.

I suspect the actual disk drive is bad from the description. My advice is to try it in another system. You don't need drivers for the Zip drive to function, so it should be easy to plug it into another machine.

I've had two different Zip Drives die. The old ones are not that reliable. I have an internal Zip 250 on a Dell machine, plus a parallel 250 version I use with an old laptop with Win95. They both are working fine for over 18 months.

I agree that you should try the drive on another computer. If it still does not work, throw it away and buy a new one. I spent way too many hours trying to get the old ones running correctly.
