I never had a problem with WIN 3.1, Dos, or WIN 98 with Zip drives causing
freezing; however, early on, since I opted to use external storage for most of
my work, I used the SCSI version of zip drives in most cases. I think the
parallel port version of the Zip drive was somewhat more problematical.
I don't expect the ZIP drive to be around much longer, though. The data about
the 100 MB external ZIP on the COMPUSA website suggests to me that COMPUSA has
discontinued the item; the external USB ZIP 250 is still a current item, but is
more expensive than an external (refurbished) HP CD-RW writer!
