    I have an old 100mb iomega ZIP disk (remember them?!) from my college days in the early noughties with lots of data that I want to retrieve. Unfortunately, I cant find a zip drive to do so! No one I know and nowhere I've checked so far (university, librabry etc) has a zip drive.

    Has anyone else had this issue and can anyone suggets a solution to help me out? :o

    There are a few for sale on Adverts & E-Bay for around the €15 mark.

    You know porn has improved an awful lot since the noughties. The old stuff will only be disappointing.

    :D my brother still totes around an old SCSI-type drive from the early 90s he'd like to get some of his webcam captures off of.

    If you can find someone with a working Mac G3/G5 tower, they were fitted with internal ZIP drives, 100 MBs IIRC
