The Zip drive
The Zip drive uses a kind of diskette, which can hold 100 MB. In my opinion, the Zip drive
works excellently. They are stable, inexpensive, and easy to work with. The drives are not the
fastest. One reason is, that they must make two revolutions for each write operation.
I and many others have used Zip drives since they came on the market. This provides us with a
common standard to move large files and to make back-ups. For example, you can use this
drive to install Windows 95 on a computer without a CD ROM and avoid having to insert
numerous floppy disks.
The 100 MB Zip disk is borderline size. However, compared to the work I had to do previously,
compressing files with PKZIP onto multiple diskettes, these are very practical.
