![]() silly enough I recall a certain 'tales in it' reddit story where someone had tried one disk in several many different computers which was an expensive fix job at the end, a good tale of what to never do indeed! Its been a while but I'm sure I recall that 250 drives could write 100/250 but the 750 drive and media were of a bit different nature such that a 750 drive can read but not write 100/250'sĪnd heh yeah like phipli said, if a disk doesn't work in one drive (whether you can hear any strange noise or not) don't just blindly try it in another drive. The external 100 is kinda interesting regarding that a lot of them seem to had been the parallel+scsi hybrid flavour which may not exactly be stable in a scsi chain compared to the pure scsi one but don't take my word on that as I have no experience Interestingly enough there were a small number of (infrequently one would show up on ebay I noticed) all-red firewire zip drives from vst themselves too Is there much value in the 750MB disks? What are Titanium disks (one end is rounded), are they useable in regular USB (and if it exists, SCSI) drives, and what is the difference between regular Zip disks and Titanium Zip Disks?ġ00 and 250 came in various internal&external flavours while 750 seem to be only either atapi or usb alone My intent right now is to buy new 250MB disks, unless I can only get a 100MB drive for the SCSI machines, in which case, I will get both 100MB and 250MB disks. I have seen that 100MB, 250MB, and 750 MB disks are available. I think I read something about the 250MB drives being able to format and copy data to the 100MB disks, so if I get a 100MB SCSI drive, I should be able to use it on the older Macs, correct? I also understand that the 750MB can format and write to the 250MB disks, but can only read the 100MB disks?Ĥ. Anything wrong with this approach? I also may be able to get my Pismo going at some point, so I can use that as well.ģ. I am thinking that the iBook G4 is best to use with the Zip Drive, as it is running 10.4.11, and has Classic Mode enabled, so I can format the disks as HFS, and HFS+. One is an iBook G4, there is also a MacBook Air, an Intel iMac 27", and a Mac Pro. Do SCSI interface drives come in the 100MB and 250MB types or are they 100MB only?Ģ.I have a few Macs that have USB ports. I will need a SCSI Zip drive of some sort. I have a number of questions about these drives, and even though I was involved with computers during the Zip era, I have never used any Zip Drives for anything, either on PC or on Mac.ġ. ![]() I am trying to figure out if they can be used to transfer data to older, non-USB equipped Macs (i.e. I just got a couple of Zip Drives (one 250MB, one 750MB), both USB, and both have their power supplies.
