These are the only SCSI Zip250s I've ever herd tell of, so I wouldn't know. I don't know anything about Lido.
I checked the specs when I got some parallel versions of the Zip250 I got that were mistakenly listed as SCSI on eBay. IOMEGA never made a SCSI Zip 250, internal or external, just parallel and USB for external and IDE for internal. The info about Winstation's development of this OEM package jibes with that, the 250 came out when USB and IDE had pretty much replaced SCSI for anything mainstream, parallel they probably did to keep their larges installed base happy, especially the WinTel laptop users.
I haven't tried the drive in a compact other than for the critical physical compatibility test. I don't see why there should be a difference between a Zip 100 and an IOMEGA Zip250 if they'd made one. Has someone tried to get a parallel interfaced Zip250 to work with a parallel<->SCSI converter?
I've got a Creative Solutions Hurdler II parallel interface NuBus card. I should try that with the Parallel Zip250s, but drivers will likely be the problem there as well, at both ends, card driver and Zip driver at the OS level.
So far I tested it in a Q700 and the 81/110, IIRC. It was discouraging and I didn't bother taking notes, hence, the offer of a loaner. I'll probably send one to CC for more rigorous testing.
Hacking drivers isn't something for me and not really something for here, maybe over at the Mac68k Forums.
I think I'll post this over there as well when I get a chance.
