The most recent version of the driver for all versions of Windows is also available at:. You don't need to have the Zip drive connected to the parallel or USB port to install the driver. In fact, for all of its external models, Iomega recommends installing the driver before you connect the drive. If you have an internal model, however, you should install the drive first. Close the virtual OS now, and go back to your normal OS. The virtual OS is still just an application running on your usual operating system.
This involves changing the settings on Oracle Virtual Box. For USB devices, this is very easy as the GUI graphics user interface contains an easy interface to do this, however for the parallel port, the settings are embedded into program files, as parallel ports are not commonly used. I found a tutorial to do this in the link below. To summarise, you will need to open the command prompt application search command prompt in start menu , and execute 3 commands.
The 1st navigates to the folder containing the settings, the 2nd and 3rd allow your virtual OS to control the parallel port. Note that the first line is a generic link to the correct folder; yours may be different depending on the name of the drive that Oracle is installed on, so change accordingly.
My VM Name must be replaced with the name of your virtual machine. If you followed the tutorial from earlier, you will have named this as Windows XP. If you are unsure, check this in the oracle virtual box application. In the second line, LPT4 must be changed to the number allocation of your parallel port, which you can find in the device manager of your normal OS.
In step one, you can see that mine is allocated as LPT3, therefore i changed the 4 to a 3. Note the double quotes are needed in the command, as they allow spaces in a string of characters. Also note that in lptmode1, the final letter is a 1 not an l, they sometimes look the same in some fonts. Firstly, load the XP virtual OS, connect your iomega to the parallel port on your computer, power your iomega and insert a disk.
