Title: [WTB] Iomega Zip drive 100MB
Post by: johnfox on August 06, 2013, 09:38:38 AM
Hi all,

for purpose of saving my company archive I need Iomega ZIP drive for 100MB zip diskettes preferably with USB interface, but Parallel would do as well.
I had two of those and both broke down this week.

Cheers.

I knew I wasn't the first person to think of putting a wallet.dat on a zip disc haha.

Thanks for offer, SCSI is not viable option I am afraid.

Well ... as you can see it's hard to get zip drive even to read the wallet.dat :D

No, I'm kidding. I don't use it for that purpose.

If you can find a brand new zip disk, you can store a portion of your coins offline on a form of media few people have the means of accessing.

I'm assuming the OP is asking for a drive because they have existing data on zip drives that they need access to.  Not because they want to start suddenly saving stuff on it.

I have a Zip-Plus with parallel and a Zip250 with USB. Also I have twenty 100MB disks and eight 250MB disks. Everything works. They were rarely used. Give me a price that is reasonable (along with shipping) and I will be very happy to sell you everything. Even if you already have bought one, consider buying these as backups.
