Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a working Zip Drive knocking about that they no longer want? Mine, after years of sterling service, seems to have gone kaput...leaving me with stuff on discs that I can no longer access! I really wish I'd put into action my plan to transfer all the stuff onto a hard drive!  Thanks in advance! |

I'm pretty sure I have an external USB Zip drive knocking about, I will see if I can dig it out. Simon. |

No USB model here. I've only got an external SCSI one and an internal one on my G4. |

Thanks anyway. I'm not sure how a SCSI model would hook up to an iMac?! Otherwise I might have taken it off your hands! |

I've just had a dig through various boxes, found the drive and gave it a quick test on the Mac and all seems fine. It's a Zip 250 but I've tested it with 100MB and 250MB disks and it reads and writes to both reliably. Here it is:  I also found a SCSI version, but looks like it's the USB one you need. If you drop me your address via PM, I'll get it in the post. |

MB Surely? (Mega-Bytes) not Mega-bits or milli-bits. Makes a difference. But then everybody knows what everybody means, don't they? Not always  it just gets harder to interpret. In abbreviations, capitalisation counts.Picky, picky, picky! Well - sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! Glad you'll get your Zip Drive, Lincoln! Now back up, back up! (I guess that's the plan anyway  )

I think we all knew exactly what was meant. |

Yes I know, I'm way too pedantic about things. Sorry about that. Happy Christmas everybody! |

The drive went off in the post this morning, so should be on its way to Lincoln over the festivities. This was also a chance for me to check some zip disks I had lying around too and found some Pics from a Boston trip in 2001 I had lost  Merry Christmas! |
