I still have files on zip disks. For awhile dell sold desktops with optional zip drives.

I threw my Zip disks and drives out years ago. Parallel port interface. Take you back?

[VanDeKoik]

A ton of my undergrad stuff were on those things. There was simply nothing else that could hold the file sizes I needed back in 2000.

But 30 bucks for 100MB? Seems like a bad joke now especially how those things could easily stop being readable at the drop of a hat. And they did!

I still have files on zip disks.

They were a godsend to small publishing shops that depended on Page Maker and Photoshop. Some musicians were tied into them as well. Things change rapidly in this business, well except for Mac Pros.

[smokingfrog]

Yes. I fell for that scam too.

[Two Kids' Dad]

I still have one of these on a shelf in my garage.

It would read the SuperDisks as well as the regular disks, but not Zip disks.

[DaxtonBrown]

I thought zip disks were the greatest. Not sure why they didn’t take off.

[gymbeau]

I have a bunch of Zip disks, too, and the drive as well but it’s SCSI and I don’t have anything with that interface any more.
Figures, eh?
Cheers,
Jim
