[WEB4LIB] FW: zip unrecognized

[Thomas Edelblute]

Tried it and it still does not recognize the drive.  Although, I feel I am one
step closer to understanding the problem.  The installation insists on looking
for a SCSI device.  When I follow the instructions for a parallel port
connection, ADD is not an active button to try to get a parallel port setup.
That is my stumbling block right now.
