Iomega Zip drives were the choice for expanded external storage in the 90’s and early 2000 because alternatives were 1.44MB floppy disks that were becoming a problem due to the nature of files and multimedia need much more space. CD writers were available at the time but were slow and un-reliable at times. Also Zip drives were much cheaper to purchase, however the disks for the Zip drivers were expensive compared to CDRW discs. Storage is 100MB, 250MB & 750MB hence the 3 models that have each number. New models are backwards compatible with smaller size disks. Writing to Iomega’s disk varies depending on which drive interface is used. Drivers below are for the Zip 100, Zip 250, Zip 750 are below for Parallel, USB, SCSI,IDE & PC Card interfaces.

Some home players will not recognize this disc if it is not finalized.To check if the CD is finalized:Open up CD Maker Audio CD Tools Disc Info and Tools.If the free space is 0 it means that the disk has been finalized.Additionally, make sure you are not using a CD-RW disc, almost all home players and all car stereos cannot read a CD-RW. Writing to Iomega’s disk varies depending on which drive interface is used. Drivers below are for the Zip 100, Zip 250, Zip 750 are below for Parallel, USB, SCSI,IDE & PC Card interfaces. Compatibility: Using the USB versions of the Zip Drives do work on Windows 7 onwards without the need for any extra driver installation.

Compatibility:

Using the USB versions of the Zip Drives do work on Windows 7 onwards without the need for any extra driver installation. However, be aware if the Windows asks you to format the disk on later versions of Windows DON’T DO IT especially if you are trying to recover data, instead find a computer with Windows XP or lower and use that computer to recover your data.

Java simple projects download with source code free. (The GUI is probably even easier but did not run due to my version of Java installed) 1. Create a script file (examples can be easily found on the proguard website and it is really simple basically input,output and compilation settings) 2. Run proguard from the command line and target your script file Super simple and very easy to do.

Q: What is the Zip drive?
A: The Zip drive is a new drive from Iomega Corporation, makers of the
Bernoulli line of removable storage devices (SyQuest's primary
competition in that field). The drive uses proprietary cartridges
providing 100-MB unformatted storage capacity (25-MB cartridges are
expected to be released soon). The drive was first advertised in the
catalog pages of MacWarehouse (a popular mail order company) several
months before the drive began shipping. As a result, a huge backorder was
created even before the first drives began trickling out. After the
drives began shipping in earnest, other mail order companies and local
retailers began advertising and selling them. Waiting periods ranged from
a few days to over a month, depending on which vendor you ordered from
and exactly when you ordered.
The drive itself is rather small (slightly larger than the typical Supra
modem), and weighs less than one pound (including disk). The case is a
cheap-feeling but reasonably sturdy dark blue plastic affair with six
gray rubber feet attached, allowing the drive to be set flat (like a
typical modem) or on edge. A green LED on the front of the drive
indicates that the drive has power, while an orange LED next to it acts
as a busy light. A small round gray button is set below the two LEDs and
acts as an emergency eject button. (When the drive is connected to the
Mac, the disk is automatically ejected like a floppy disk when the disk
icon is dragged to the trash can. If for some reason you have a disk
installed and the computer is not turned on, for example, pressing the
button on the drive will eject the disk.) A clear plastic window is on
the top of the drive allowing the user to see the label of an inserted
disk. The back of the drive has two 25-pin SCSI connectors. Between the
two connectors are two switches; one allows the user to set the drive
between SCSI ID 5 and 6 (those are the only two options available), while
the other provides termination (ON if the Zip is the last device on the
SCSI chain, OFF if there are devices on either side of the SCSI chain).
The power inlet is located on the side of the drive (on the same side
that would face down if the drive were positioned on its side) and
provides both a recessed power connector and a recessed power cable guide
for aesthetically routing the power cord.
The drive ships with an external two-prong power supply (which weighs
slightly more than the drive itself!), one 100-MB 'Zip Tools' cartridge
containing many excellent utilities for formatting, indexing and backing
up your data, two floppy disks for installation (one for Mac, one for
PC), a thin but complete owner's manual, a shielded 25-to-25 pin SCSI
cable, and the usual assortment of promotional goodies. Setting up the
drive takes only a few minutes.

Q: What's the deal with the cartridges?
A: As of this writing, only 100-MB cartridges ar
