I have used the Panasonic KXL-D720 PCMCIA for about 1 year with no problem.  I would 
think this is the older double speed version of the KXL-D740.  The PC-Card is SCSI, but 
it seems to hang during write on the ZIP Drive and regular SCSI hard drives.  It works 
fine for reading most SCSI drives (as well as the CD-ROM Drive it was designed for).  
The Drive works well on a regular SCSI controller should you want to use it in this 
manner.
