| Original-look iomega zip disk OS installers. | |
| Posted by: Danamania on 2016-05-30 03:12:03 Perhaps not so useful or reliable at the time, but putting fresh installs with installer images of the old OSs on zip disks (or other removable storage) when you have a couple hundred zip disks and a bunch of drives laying around is *really* convenient. Working in print helps too, to give it a look that fits in...    | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2016-05-30 03:27:59 Its gorgeous, thanks for sharing. Probably the sort of work which can only be done with the appropriate material and software only. | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2016-05-30 05:38:03 Yeah, it's beautiful ! I would sure find some use to these... Do you plan to release the printable files ? 🙂 | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2016-05-30 06:37:08 Thats badass. | |
| Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-05-30 06:43:46 Those are beautiful! I too would love printable files if you ever feel like sharing. | |
| Posted by: Danamania on 2016-05-30 07:10:35 Sure thing. The labels, set up for 60x50mm. I've yet to do an 8.1, 8.6 or 9.x though. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5334905/Zip%20labels%20608%2071%20753.pdf And the single zip jewel case insert; print and score/fold on the dotted lines. I used a 200gsm satin, though 170 would work a little more like the original Iomega inserts I have here. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5334905/Zip%20Jewel%20Case%20insert%2071.pdf Forgive any typos in the insert, I wanted to bang one out to see how it fit/felt, mostly. I'd bet they're in there. Also, images were taken from eBay auctions for the 7.1 personal upgrade kit, and are a bit rubbish 🙂 . Ideally I'd move some bits around to suit the visibility (or lack of) of parts of the back of the case too, but later. | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2016-05-30 07:17:26 Thank you ! 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Macdrone on 2016-05-30 07:30:43 Those are amazing. Are they the installers or are they installed on those disks? | |
| Posted by: omidimo on 2016-05-30 11:22:40 Awesome work! Well done! | |
| Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-05-30 12:12:39 Thank you for the upload! Do you use a color laser to print the labels, or an inkjet? | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2016-05-30 12:33:12 Can these be used with Avery Zip disk labels? I don't see why not, but I want to make certain. c | |
| Posted by: slomacuser on 2016-05-30 12:53:55 Very nice labels! | |
Posted by: Danamania on 2016-05-31 02:08:35Can these be used with Avery Zip disk labels?I can't see any reason why not - looks like those are just 1mm higher (which would make them fit the space a little better than mine) - though they have really rounded corners. http://www.amazon.com/white-labels-disks-5925-LASER/dp/B004Q23AY6 If you scale mine up about 1% they should cover the whole area just peachy!. | |
| Posted by: MJ313 on 2016-05-31 05:48:04 Holy Moly. Those look incredible. | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2016-05-31 08:11:15 Sweet! | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2016-05-31 10:10:45 Excellent! I might look into doing this, as I believe I have some Avery Zip labels somewhere.... Do you know what font you used (some variant of Apple Garamond, I'm assuming)? c | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2016-05-31 10:13:13 Yes Apple garamond Light, opened the pdf in Illustrator and it cried I didn't had it. But it's easy to find. | |
| Posted by: CC_333 on 2016-05-31 10:19:33 Yeah, I just installed it on my machine, so I'm good there. OK, I'll take a look at it. Someday soon.... c | |
