Zip and Disks

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-07-02 03:33:23 Two weeks ago i spotted an ad for a SCSI Zip drive for free, was close to work, so sent a message. Got a message the very next day to collect the drive. The lady said she can give me some floppy disks also if required. In the end i collected 10 packs of unused and sealed floppy disks, some new 250 Mb Zip  disks, a pair of 100 Mb Zip disks and 3 Zip drives. The SCSI was indeed a Parallel drive, and the two USB drives didn't worked (one had no activity at all, the other had a clicking head) Today, i removed the head from the dead and swapped it with the working unit, but clicking one. And got a working USB unit. Never had one of those clear units, so is nice, the Parallel can be used for parts, and the PSU will be used as a spare. I have given away some disks also.
