I recently had the interesting task of getting some interesting data off a 100 MB Zip disk for my Media Station project. Yes, that Zip. The Click of Death kind. Someone gave me lovely Tangent tower for free the other day - that’s another topic - and there was a Zip drive in it. It was manufactured in 2000. I just hoped there weren’t many hours on it. I didn’t have a spare disk to check if the drive was good - I probably should have gotten one to test with.
