Hi!, is possible to use the parallel port version of the iomega JAZ drive on the A3000 ?.

Sadly not, you need a bi-directional parallel port. A3010, A3020, A4000, A5000, A4, A7000, RiscPC.

That was the reason I actually upgraded form 3000 to 3020

That's right. Actually I misread "jaz" as "zip" originally. I'd never heard of a parallel jaz drive before - zip is far more commonplace with Acorn kit.

Yes. You can even get metal enclosures to suit holding a podule in the rear socket permanently.
