    Can anyone read a zip disk for me?

    Hi all,

    I'm doing a clearout at home and I've found a Zip disk which I've got no way of reading. From memory, I backed up a K6 having borrowed a drive and bought a single disk to back up a load of stuff.

    I'd love to have a look what's on it - could somebody possibly read the disk and upload the contents for me? I'm happy to offer a nominal fee It's a Zip 100.

    Cheers!

    I might be able to. My brother has my old parallel port Zip 100, but I'm not sure I have any parallel ports to use it on

    I did have an IDE drive, no idea if I still have it though, it will be in storage if I do.

    If you don't get any better offers give me a shout and I'll see what I can do

    I've got a USB one sitting around somewhere, should be able to get that up and running.

    Edit: tested and working. Drop me a line if you want to send the zip disk to me.

    No charge
