Regular 3.5" floppies won't fit in a Zip drive. Zip drives had their own, proprietary disks - fatter and wider than a 3.5" floppy. I have an old Zip 100mb drive too, but never use it anymore. The truth is that they have been made mostly obsolete by the little flash thumb drives. Why use a separate device to record data onto a low capacity 100MB disk, when you can get a little thumb drive for $8 that'll hold 50 times more data and will fit in your pocket, and doesn't even need a separate drive to be read, heh? I would maybe keep it for a few years, unopened, and maybe it'll be worth money as a collector's piece someday. There are people who have the original Windows 3.1 package in an unopened box, and it's worth tens of thousands of dollars now. :-)
