I bought an Iomega Zip drive long time ago, it was a parallel port drive
after using it for just a very few times, after some time without use, I tried
to use once again... but this time It had the 'infamous' Click of Dead'
So... I am on your side... I will NEVER buy another Iomega Product. period.!
