Ok guys,
A friend gave me an old box to scrap that had a ZIP drive in it, he also
gave me eight 100MB disks for it, two of which are new and unopened.
I KNOW some of you still use this stuff .. so make me an offer in trade... I
sure ain't gonna try and fleaBay this to get 10 bucks...
If it's a regular here like Gunner, or Iggy, or one of the "Don's" I'll
send it no questions asked, somebody else may have to persuade me they won't
rip me off for the shipping.
What do I want?.. Hell I dunna-no.. A couple of 64th 5C collets would
probably get it...
Don't respond here, drop me an e-mail, I'm sure you can figure out how to
get rid of the NOSPAM before you respond, and put ZIP DRIVE SWAP in the
subject, even with SpamAssissian I still take a couple 100 a day...
I won't necessarily take the first offer, just some thing worth while.
--.- Dave (who really is trying to be a good guy here).

As much as I wish you success selling these, I doubt that you will get
very far with 100mb ZIP drives. I use USb hard drives for backup and
also rdiff-backup for remote backup from home to work.

Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention
to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating
from Google Groups. If you want your postings to be seen by
more readers you will need to find a different means of

Take the first offer - it will likely be the only one. The Zip Drive
was problematic at birth and has not gotten any better with age.
(possibly the least reliable media in the last 20 years)
Not to mention the 100MB Zip is slower than a 4GB USB stick - and they
are less expensive today than the 100MB media was at its lowest.

4 gig flash drives are $15
8 gigs are $25
Ive got about 10 Zip drives, both the 100 meg and 250 meg that Id give
away.
But they sure did fill a need for a long time though.
Anyone want a Syquest drive or 3? 1 gig.....
