This Iomega Zip 100 MB drive is a high-capacity removal storage drive with an internal IDE (ATAPI) interface. Using 100 MB Zip disks, this drive gives you floppy-like data storage with hard-drive storage capacity and access speed. Using a Zip disk is akin to adding 100 MB to your hard drive, and there's no limit to the number of disks you can add. Ideal for downloading files from the Internet or creating complex graphics files, the Zip 100 MB drive comes with IomegaWare software for recording music, formatting disks, backing up files, copying Zip disks with a single drive, and using your Zip drive to emulate a hard drive.
The Iomega 100 MB drive comes with a one-year warranty.
Note: Iomega Zip 100 MB disks are sold separately.

Iomega has been known for its reliable products for a long time. I didn't believe it until I tried it today. I just ordered a 100 ATAPI internal zip drive and installed it in a matter of seconds. It didn't take me more than 5 minutes to slide the drive into one of the 3 1/2 bays, connect the power socket and the interface, and bam it's up and running with no problems. I didn't think it could be that easy. The product comes with an interface card, 2 power supply sockets and 4 screws. I didn't need anything other than 1 screw and that's it. I highly recommended.

IOMEGA ZIP 100 Internal
This internal ATAPI drive is the fastest access to a replaceable ZIP 100 disk compared to a drive that connects to the parallel port, even when the Parallel Port Accelerator program is used to optimize data transfer. The external drive that uses a USB connection is the next best thing. The `User's Manual' recommends watching the Video Tutorial before installing the hardware. Read the instructions and take notes if you never did this before. The ZIP drive is always installed on the secondary IDE channel, never the same IDE channel used for the hard drive. The CD drive is usually the master or first drive, the ZIP drive should be the secondary or slave drive. You are limited to a single IDE ZIP drive on a computer.
NEVER insert a ZIP disk into a drive unless the power is on, as this can damage the drive. If you lose power, you must disconnect power to the computer, open its cover, and push a straightened paper clip into the Emergency Eject Hole in the back (p.26). CD drives have their emergency eject hole on the front panel, a better location. Once the drive is installed correctly turn on power and then you can install the IomegaWare software from the CD. Follow the instructions on the screen. Use the applications to format, copy, and protect your ZIP disks. Or you can download the software from the Iomega web site. Use the Copy Machine application to duplicate a ZIP disk (p.28). You can format a ZIP disk with the Iomega Format, or run applications from a ZIP disk (p.29). You can both Read and Write Protect your ZIP disks (p.30). The three jumper settings are explained on pages 32 and 33. The last section is for Troubleshooting and has answers for possible problems.
Iomega recommends installing IomegaWare applications in Windows 2000 to format ZIP disks so they will be compatible with other Windows operating systems. If a ZIP disk is formatted in NTFS it can lock the disk so the eject button on the device does not work. You should always choose the software eject command because of disk caching in Windows 2000 and XP. The ZIP 100 disk provides unlimited storage space within its 100 MB limit. Space on a ZIP drive is reused when files are replaced or deleted. Only a ZIP 100 drive can do a Long Format on a ZIP 100 disk. This can correct disk errors or remove protection from files. The 250MB drive can read and write 100MB disks, the 750MB drive can only read 100MB disks. The 100MB drive can not process the larger capacity disks.
This Z100ATAPI model comes in a 5.25" bracket, four bolts, spare jumper, IDE cable, and a power cable connector. The drive can also fit in a 3.5" bay. The 100MB disk is practical in downloading software from the Internet to take home, or other large files for transportation. But newer computers no longer include a ZIP 100 internal drive as an option.
To test the status of a used ZIP disk. 1) Right click on the drive, select `Properties'. 2) Select the Iomega tab (after support was installed). 3) Select `Diagnostics', then `Close' after the green light. 4) Select `More Info' on the `Disk Type' Note the `Disk Life Status' and the `Format Life Status'. Percentages lower than about 85% are not good. 5) A `Long Format' can improve the Life Status statistics.
