<<Al is probably right, though I have had no trouble with them
(compared to my QS software troubles messing up the ATA HD), they are
great for temporary use.
Just wanted to put in a good word for these poor things.
BTW, I think there are USB zip drives, and actual zips in any
collection will then be useable... they would be very cheap indeed
these days, probably cheaper than a suitable scsi card or (in my
peculiar case, a cable)

Thanks, David. I like them, too. I have an internal Zip bay, but the
250 is too large to fit into it as it's mounted on a platform & the
platform is too big to fit into the Zip drive opening. I can't find an
internal 100 zip drive, which is what size the bay will take. It is
right below the CD drive. Maybe if I go on the Low End Mac Swap List,
someone will have one. I do wish I could install the 250 (they even
have a 750 now) as they will play all the smaller size Zip disks as
well. My stuff is all on 100s.

I confess I did not pay attention to your mounting probs. I have
always used external drives (of which I seem to have quite a few
somehow). You can pick these up, esp, scsi for almost nothing ...
Sorry, platform? You can't disengage it from its platform?
