I've always known about the zip drive. I remember how useful it was. How we had 2 drives die to the "click of death". The whole nine yards. Long story short, I've been using an new ide 250mb drive and a scsi 100mb drive to transfer files between my ibm system and mac. However, this weekend I came across a Syquest EZ 135 drive with 1 disk and wall-wart. works perfectly too!
I did know that syquest drives existed, however this is the first one that i've ever seen in the flesh. Naturally, I don't trust the zip disk. Are these syquest drives any better? Should I get a 2nd scsi drive off ebay and use it to transfer files? the drive itself probably isnt worth much, but I do like the disks better than iomega's. I never liked the eject KERCHUNK they made, as a kid I was convinced if I wasn't careful it would cut off one of my fingers. I have no use for the drive, if I use zip disks, and the opposite is true I guess. Anyone have any input?
