Just because your B&W G3 has an internal Zip drive (as does mine), I wouldn't recommend investing $$ in new disks. Now, the drives have become obsolete in terms of what they offer and what is available now. In their prime (and before the advent of CD-R/RW drives), the Zip 100 and 250 drives were a convenient means of transferring a lot of large files from one computer to another. The scarcity factor is behind their greed in overpricing a 3-pack of Zip 100 disks. Why not use a USB flash drive instead? A sale-priced 4GB drive costs less than $10 now, and it has 40x the storage capacity of a single 100MB Zip disk - which are quite expensive now at most retail office supply stores. If you're considering buying new Zip disks, I assume that you want to transfer/store files. I deleted that program and INIT, after installing the IomegaWare.
This may be the application in use that you mentioned.
As I recall, the latter included an extra application & INIT in the Extensions folder (perhaps "QuikSync"), which ran in the background. This system still runs beautifully- AutoCad 2003, WordPerfect 7, Corel Graphic Suite 7,Office 2003- and the ZIP drives containing hundreds of files with DOS extensions.I should have suggested that you find/download the older IomegaWare 3.0.4 - which I preferred over the newer 4.0.2. The ZIP 100 drive was a revelation in the previous century, I have a 1998 Dell T700R (PIII 750MHz, 768MB RAM, 30 and 80GB drives on SCSI 66 controller) running Windows XP and with a ZIP 100 drive.-That's what $2,600 bought in 1998. The other possibility is that there were external ZIP drives that were USB and that would avoid the parallel port driver problem. If the linked driver doesn't work and the files are very important, I wonder if it would be possible to run a Windows XP as VM and download the files. Here is a download site for an Iomega ZIP 100 driver that lists supporting Windows 7: I've visited the following page and associated links without success When I connect my old Iomega ZIP100 to my PC running Windows 7, all the lights are on but no one's home!ĭo I need to install a driver? If so, I would be very grateful if someone can provide me a link for a free download.
