It is a generic name for a number of different devices. Your statement is like: "Why do people buy HP Proliant XXX computers (= ZF, a specific type of XUM1541 device)? A PC (= an XUM1541) does the same job for a smaller amount of money." > ZoomFloppy seems to not have the IEEE standard driver IC's, but drive > the IEEE bus directly from the modern microcontroller. That's right, but so does the IEC2IEEE device I wrote about above. > I would try a shorter cable. I second that, though. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
