I have an empeg...
I don't have a zip drive, superfloppy drive or a laptop...
I'll continue to use usb up, serial down for the moment, because the machine the CD writer is in has had it's power supply sold... (The joys of working for a joint hardware software company... =)
(Also, when I get round to trying Gphoto on my empeg to get photos off my camera, wouldn't it be nice to grab them over the usb from the files area... =)
