I think perhaps eBay is getting so ubiquitous and people so familiar, that people use eBay as a junk pile and start forgetting that what they send out actually has to be legit. Still, it's an expensive mistake - you have to pay for shipping back to you. This guy responded quickly and even gave me his phone number. I appreciate the honesty, but it still strikes me as weird that the unit was so problematic yet he said it was fully functional. Regarding misrepresentation, I've noticed for years that people consistently call ZipDrives "SCSI" on eBay even if it is a parallel port version. Although it's a waste of time, I ping these ads and tell them to eliminate the word "SCSI" from their ad. But it happens ALL THE TIME. I wonder how many people, wanting a SCSI Zip, get a parallel port instead. I know I have calls for service where the person is unaware. It's the same port, DB25, but the seller should know better. Again, it's the use of eBay as a glorified Recycling Center. Garth Hjelte Sampler User
