Hi all, Yesterday I went looking for a backup medium which could be attached to the parallel port of my ThinkPad 701C. I knew tape drives existed, and had heard something of EZ drives, but the only thing I could find was a Zip drive from iomega. The brochure says it "works like a hard drive", can store 100MB on a single disk, has a throughput of up to 20MB/min, sustained transfer rate of up to 1.25 MB/s(?), seek time of 29 ms, average start/stop time of 5/3 s. Does anybody know this drive? How do the specs compare to those of a tape drive or EZ drive (of around $300)? And how much does such a drive cost in the US? Suggestions for other devices (also SCSI, not too expensive)?
