In considering the replies I've gotten, and my future data storage needs, all of my zip drives (two zip100s & one zip750) will eventually head to eBay, once I've been able to upgrade to larger internal hard disks, and have other backup solutions (SD, CF, Memory Stick) readily available. As it is, I could d/l everything, from all the zip disks we have, to the 20GB "slave" drive, and not make too big a dent, in the available storage of that drive.
