    so what yer saying is that my zip drive is basically done?

    so what do i need to buy?

    an SD card reader?

    what is that?

    and how do i get the shit i got on my zips to another format before it dies?

    Had a zip start bugging out, replaced it before I lost the lot.

    SCSI card reader

    Internal card reader

    I would do it sooner rather than later.

    This is the future, don't get another zip drive, shit are defunct and will break again.

    The only advantage of the SCSI card reader is if you don't have a zip on the comp to transfer all your shit (to then transfer to SD cards) you can load up with the zip still installed in the MPC and transfer to the external that way, no comp necessary.

    Other than that go for the internal. Switch out is easy as pie.

    go to your local dumpster....7 years ago, find a zip drive, load that shit onto your computer and then transfer it to a card, install the new card drive, yer done!

    but seriously, finding an external zip drive for a computer for like, a DOLLAR should not be hard. these things are a dead format, nobody wants them anymore.
