		<description>This site came up when I googled to try to find a way to get access to my files that are prisoner on those 100mb Zip Disks!  Evidently Iomega doesn&#039;t have a driver that I can load on to XP so that I can access the info on those disks. I do some writing and actually have a couple of bodies of work on those disks! Anybody have any suggestions?? ((preferably not the smart-ass kind! I&#039;ve kicked own ass pretty good already!!))
THANKS</description>

		<description>I had like four of these. They were great and a lot of companies offered them as add on options. I later moved to the ill-fated LS 120 Superdrive too. I bet I still have one somewhere. I know it would fire right up as these things are bomb-proof!</description>

		<description>I used to smuggle mine into work, plug it into the ONE computer that had a fatpipe connection (now long gone defunct airline) and download from the original Napster. I am sure it is still laying around somewhere in my hardware buckets out in the garage. That was about the same time Ram hit a buck a meg and hard drives were growing towards 50 gigs. Dial up! Mullets!mice with balls! CRT&#039;s ah the good old days</description>

		<description>I had external and internal zip drives, but one day, my internal drive died.  I sent it in to Iomega for servicing and they gave me back a different drive that unfortunately suffered from the click of death syndrome.  That replacement drive proceeded to infect all of my zip disks so they would do the click of death even in healthy zip drives.  All my data on the disks was lost and the disks and drives became useless.  Up until that point I loved my zip drives.  Afterwards, not so much.</description>

		<description>I still have a parallel-port ZIP-100 somewhere, and some disks - but really, I knew that those disks would become obsolete even back in 2001, when I bought my first USB memory stick. Yes, everybody laughed at me, 16MB for an insane amount of money... but in the end, those USB sticks have replaced most other forms of offline data transfer.</description>

		<description>Yeah man, I put a Zip in every PC I built for several years (I generally build myself a new PC every year).  They were okay, and I still have some disks lying around even though I&#039;ve long since retired the PC&#039;s that had the drives.

And yeah, I was one of the suckers that bought into the Jaz.  I could kick myself in the head when I think back to how much money I invested in that technology.  Then again, I had dual 8&quot; and 5.25&quot; Bernoulli&#039;s, and I had IEEE-488 interfaced 1MB floppy drives for my Commodore 64, so it&#039;s not the first time I&#039;ve bought bought into some new-fangled storage technology at a ridiculously high price!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah man, I put a Zip in every PC I built for several years (I generally build myself a new PC every year).  They were okay, and I still have some disks lying around even though I&#8217;ve long since retired the PC&#8217;s that had the drives.</p>
<p>And yeah, I was one of the suckers that bought into the Jaz.  I could kick myself in the head when I think back to how much money I invested in that technology.  Then again, I had dual 8&#8243; and 5.25&#8243; Bernoulli&#8217;s, and I had IEEE-488 interfaced 1MB floppy drives for my Commodore 64, so it&#8217;s not the first time I&#8217;ve bought bought into some new-fangled storage technology at a ridiculously high price!

		<description>I think I still have a drive laying around too, I think it&#039;s the Parallel Port version (since I guess I didn&#039;t have USB on my computer at the time LOL!).

At the college I went to, they had zip drives in all the computers.  It was pretty handy in its day.</description>

		<description>I used them a lot but they kept refusing to eject. What a pain. I recently ran across one in the garage, but Leopard would not recognize it.
You just knew they would be obsolete one day, and they are.</description>

		<description>This certainly takes me back and makes me feel old in the same breath. I remember buying the external parallel port version and feeling like I ruled the world. No one else on campus had one and I was even given special permission to load driver on one machine. I was the big man on campus. Of course, after that, it seemed everyone had one. I even got my grandfather hooked on it. I eventually upgraded to the internal ATAPI variant, of course, and would buy the 100 MB (never went more than that) disks in packs. I even remember the very first time I formatted one with NTFS. Geez ... I really do feel old now. Thanks BG! =-)</description>

		<description>Hell yeah I remember buying one of these and a new 33.6 modem. I was the shit on BBS&#039;s back in the day.

And sadly, I remember the clicking of death. I lost many a porn file to that sound.

Whatever happened to Iomega and their 5,000,000 Terabyte optical drives they were supposed to have by now?</description>

		<description>I still have my Zip 100 too, plus a Jazz drive with many discs of old files. They&#039;re in a box in my closet and I go back and forth should I dump or save them since I don&#039;t have any SCSI interfaces on my computers, just USB. At least I finally dumped my Amiga 3000!</description>

		<description>i remember the click of death. i would just keep reinserting the disk until i could read it..... then my patience would run out and i would try again the next day. also, the drives used the parallel port which meant it was sharing with my printer. what a joke that was.</description>

		<description>I still have my relics. LOL  250mb drive and my 1GB drive. Gonna keep it and form a museum. I wish I could find my old commodore vic20 and 64.  we used a tape drive back then. talk about slow. I guess i shouldn&#039;t complain about how unreliable the 1GB iomega drive was connecting with Win98. What a nightmare....... not to mention how slow it was to transfer the data.</description>

		<description>Oh, yeah, I sure do remember the Zip, as well as the Jaz drives. Heck, I worked at the firm that designed &#039;em. Despite the &quot;click of death&quot; problem, which, yeah, was a huge problem (i swear it wasn&#039;t our fault!) I loved them. I still have a ton of those things laying around. More Jaz disks than Zip disks, but still... They were awesome, I was one of the multimedia guys and I had a drive at home and a drive at work and would cart back and forth a shovel-load of disks every day. Today I still use them when I borrow my son&#039;s old Roland sp-808 GrooveSampler, which utilizes the Zip disk.</description>

		<description>I still have my ZIP250 (the slim one).  Not too long ago I was going through the stuff in my garage and found the original ZIP100 serial version with a pass through connector...  A tear dropped on the pavement... I listed it on freecycle.org and it was gone within one day.  I hope it lives on at someone&#039;s place.  Now my ZIP250...that&#039;s another story.  Latest technology with SCSI and USB 1.1 interface, uses an external power supply.  WOW...  It still has the protective film on it as it was only used about 10 times.</description>

I hope it lives on at someone&#8217;s place.  Now my ZIP250&#8230;that&#8217;s another story.  Latest technology with SCSI and USB 1.1 interface, uses an external power supply.  WOW&#8230;  It still has the protective film on it as it was only used about 10 times.

		<description>Dude! 

That takes me back. 

To about last month at my mom and dad&#039;s house. My dad prepares and stores some of my old church&#039;s docs and he STILL uses this drive (USB 1.1). My dad&#039;s is the somewhat ice blue drive (to match the old iMac). 

I bet these are super secure now. Kids in my current church youth group would have no idea what these are! I had a good laugh when I saw this! 

Everyone should visit there parents and see what old electronics are still around the house. LOL!</description>

		<description>I remember the &quot;CLICK OF DEATH!&quot;

Two things killed Iomega, the click of death which seemed to get worst as time went on and the capacity verses price issue.  CDs were so cheap that I could burn a disk and throw it away cheaper than a zip disc that nobody would read outside my studio.  The more versions they made, the harder it was for compatibility.  100MBs to 250 to 750 then came the Jaz drive which was already too little too late.  CDs were already everywhere.

I am just surprised that the floppy is still required for some tasks... RAID anyone?

		<description>We used those things a bunch to hand in all our programs and code in college. They were the only thing we could find to store all the Visual Basic and C++ crap.  Only problem was they tended to be picky on ejecting them, and in some cases, never came out.  Ahh memories :)</description>
