I found a Iomega harddrive, but it did not have the data transfer cable, only the power cable. It is not a firewire or usb cable, does anybody know what kind of cable i need to get?
here are the pics:

no idea, but I've seen SCSI cables that look similar. According to Iomega its supposed to have USB/Firewire...but supposed to doesn't count for anything
 
Are you sure a parallel could do the job? I don't think a parallel will be able to transfer data at the speed a SCSI would operate.

No, I dont think it could, but that is a little what it looks like

It must be scsi, then
 
My ZIP drives use parallell so its still a possibility. As for the speed of parallel vs scsi... it doesnt matter because ZIP drives are uber-slow anyways
 
yeah thats not a long enough port to be SCSI, im almost 100% its parallel

so your gonna need a parallel cable with one male end, and one female end if you wana hook that bad boy up :)

*just snag a cable from an old printer :P
