Re: Zip Drives

[James S Jones]

The generic drives should work. The generic NEC drive I put in my B&W 
shows up in the System Profiler as "IOMEGA  ZIP 100 ATAPI" and works 
fine. The major difference is that the generic drives are usually ivory 
in color, unlike the charcoal grey Apple used from the B&W forward.

see them going for $1.00-10.00.

Can you see the obvious question? Will a PC drive work in the 
Mac-given that they are both IDE drives? Won't the Mac just see it as 
another drive like it does my after market DVD burner and the two IDE 
drives that could be either Mac or PC?
