  • The ZIP drive is not unknown for many users. More than one million of them and several times more media have been sold all over the world. Some applications are provided on ZIP media instead of CDs.

  • Even though the ZIP medium didn't become the substitute for diskettes, as was supposed, it is one the most favorite media used as an alternative for diskettes and it is an ideal portable media for middle size files. Now, this drive comes with new round design and connection through USB without the necessity of using the power supply adapter.

  • Over against the existing version connected through the parallel port, this one offers a higher speed and the possibility of connecting and disconnecting it when the computer is on (USB, Plug and Play, hot swappable).

CD

  • IomegaWare - supporting programs and drivers for Windows and Linux (also in several languages).

Functionality

  • DOS - There is no. There is no USB support under the MSDOS system. If you need the DOS support, your drive must be connected through the parallel port or SCSI.

  • Windows 95 SR2 - Although the USB support itself usually mean a problem under Windows 95 SR2, the CD contains the driver and the support for the USB ZIP under Windows95. Then the drive functions without problems.

  • Windows 98 SE - The USB support is without problems here. As in case of Windows 95 you can use the update of USB support and drivers.

  • Windows ME - Drivers are not necessary, they are integrated in the system.

  • Windows NT 4.0 - Altough the official USB support does not exist, after installation of a special driver the drive can be used (the driver only works with the ZIP drive, but do not allows the USB support for other devices).

  • Windows XP - Drivers are not necessary. The disk can be formatted with FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS systems. But it is suitable to install the IomegaWare and to use the formatting directly from Iomega (FAT16). From unknown reason the copying under XP seemed much slower than under Windows 9x, but it could be an error of the drivers on the testing computer.

  • Windows 2000 - As in Windows XP, the drive can be used without drivers.

  • If you use drivers implemented in the system or just installation of the drivers, it is also suitable to install the IomegaWare. Once I managed to format the medium wrongly and the medium did not worked correctly.

  • FAT32 - Cannot be read under Windows NT 4.0.

  • NTFS - Only for Windows NT 4.0.

  • FAT16 - The surest possibility working under any OS. Standard format for ZIP media.

  • It extends the basic drive's functions. The setup and using of functions is controlled by help of the local menu displayed after clicking the right mouse button on the drive's icon.

  • Formatting diskettes - Preparation of the diskettes for their use and checking their surface (as in common diskettes with the possibility of creating a system disk).

  • Protection of the diskettes - possibility of setting password for the access to the diskette.

Notes

  • It is recommended to eject the medium before switching off the computer or disconnecting the drive. Under Windows NT 4.0 the disconnecting and connecting is made when the computer is on. In some OS the medium is automatically ejected when Windows is closed.

  • To disconnect the drive under Windows ME and Windows 2000 the 'Unplug or eject hardware' icon should be used. This icon appears in the right bottom corner.

  • At present, besides the ZIP 100MB there is also the ZIP 250MB drive on the market (also compatible with ZIP 100MB drives).

  • But at present, a lot of users prefer CD-RW drives and rewritable CDs. The ZIP media shall not be the substitute for CDs but for diskettes and should be used for easy transferring of middle size files. The drive is successful thanks to its easier connection, low demands on the PC knowledge and no installation of the drivers on newer OS. For transferring files between home and NTB computers without using CD this solution is completely ideal.

  • The drives reading and recording the ZIP disks is not only produced by the Iomega company, so you can meet other drives with other functions, other prices and other type of connection (e. g. www.nectech.com).

  • The SuperDisk - LS240 (successor of the LS120 drives and disks) becomes an interesting competitor. Its advantage: it can completely replace diskettes, it uses FD32 technology with a technology able to record whole 32MB onto common 1,44MB diskettes and also LS240 disks for 240MB (www.imation.com and SuperDisk™ 240MB, www.addonics.com/superd.htm ). Seek time 95ms, Data Transfer Rate 600 Kbytes/s.

Windows device driver information for Iomega USB Zip 100

The Iomega USB Zip 100 has a structure similar to Iomega's earlier version of the Bernoulli Box that had writable surface in both sides of the disk mounted with read or write heads in a linear configuration. The read and write heads are in form of actuator flies that rapidly spin over the flexible medium supported on a strong cartridge. The difference between the Iomega USB Zip 100 disk and the earlier version of Bernoulli Box set up is that the former lacks a Bernoulli plate. As a result, the Iomega USB Zip 100 has a cartridge with only a single disk as opposed to the two disks used in the Bernoulli cartridge (that is one located on each side of the Bernoulli plate). Inside the Iomega USB Zip 100, read and write heads move in a mechanism similar to that used on a HDD without involving the principle employed in the Bernoulli plate.
