Not sue if I posted this before, but I have a Iomega Zip drive and a

Well don't all rush at once.


He didn't say whether it is 100 MB or 250 MB, and what kind of
interface it has. I know that they came in IDE, parallel port, USB
since I have about 20 different Zip drives in my shop. I pull them out
of the computers I refurbish, since most people have no clue what they
are. There are SCSI Zip drives as well, but I've never handled one.

I figured if anyone cared, they would ask. Parallel port, 100MB.
Some one want it? Or it goes in the trash.
I figured with some guys here running older systems it may be usefull to
somebody.

They are very useful for only a very few things. Particularly if you
have a limited system with no USB ports that you can plug in a flash
drive.

Great devices at the time..but technology progresses...shrug

"IMHO, some people here give Jeff far more attention than he deserves,

cruelest, IMO, is to simply killfile and ignore him. An alternative, if
you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post,
listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02
worth."
