Ralph, How much data are you talking about?

Tom, Good idea, but there were three types of IOmega ZipDrives.

It might be as simple as asking around and borrowing a USB
ZipDrive in good condition.    250M disks need a 250M drive.
The 100M and 250M disks both work in a 250M drive.

Note that IF the ZipDisk media files were password protected
by the Iomega program (using the drive firmware), the IOmega
program will need to be installed wherever the reading will b
done, or the disks will not be accessible. IIRC, with password
protectuion and no "decoding" software, the disks will (may?)
appear to be blank.
WITH the program and the wrong password, the choice is to reformat
to gain access to a NOW BLANK disk.

PS: I liked LS-120 drives two.
