The dawn of the digital age, when the advent of the 100MB Zip drive met the challenges of the digital information era. It was the beginning of the SuperFloppy category of removable storage. Millions of Zip drives later, the Iomega Zip drive solution is the preferred way to save, backup and collect your important files.In keeping with Iomega's commitment to respond to customers needs, Iomega is proud to announce the newest extension to the Zip family-the Iomega Zip 250 drive and disks. The 250MB Zip drive delivers a time-tested, feature-rich SuperFloppy with the highest capacity of any product in its category. The new drive comes in two flavors: parallel port (for PC's) and SCSI (for Mac's or PC's with a SCSI connection). Zip 250 SCSI drive users will benefit from a performance boost, up to 56 times faster than standard floppy drives and 1.4 times faster than external CD-ROM drives. Best of all, current Zip 100 drive users need not worry about their investment in 100MB Zip media-the new Zip 250 drive reads and writes 100MB Zip disks as well as 250MB Zip disks (optimum performance is gained using 250MB media). ...Read more

************************************
Macintosh users have long enjoyed the speed and flexibility of the SCSI interface, built standard into nearly every PowerPC computer produced by Apple before January 1999. The SCSI model of the 250 MB Zip drive is the next Zip product extension for Mac and SCSI-equipped PC users, boasting not only of increased capacity, but also of a speed boost of 50 percent over the classic SCSI Zip 100 drive. And compared to floppy disks there really is no comparison--the SCSI Zip 250 drive is 56 times faster. Of course, PC users can take advantage of the significant performance and capacity benefits of the SCSI Zip 250 drive with the addition of a Zip Zoom SCSI accelerator card or other ASPI compatible SCSI card.
