> I read somewhere that only an old version of the 100Mb zipdrive works with the Wildcard DX2. Is this correct? What does this mean specifically?

Yes, it is correct. It means that there are two different protocols used by ZIP drives for their parallel interface. The old protocol works with the DX2 and the new one doesn't.
If you buy a new ZIP drive it's guaranteed not to work with the DX2.

> And about the Diskdual: I have an old IDE 4X CDROM drive, will it work with the diskdual?

Most likely it will. I think pretty much any IDE CD-ROM drive will.
