You could continue to use your external Zip 100 by installing a PCI
SCZI card in your Blue & White G3 (now G4).
But for a long range strategy, how do you back up your Zip disks?
Those disks are not the best for long term, permanent storage. Do you
copy them to your hard drives? Once copied to one of your internal
hard drives, you could then use an external hard drive for backing up
your photos again. Also, I would question whether the Zip drive is
robust enough for the long term.
Dear Al,
Actually, that is a very valid question.

I am 82 and perhaps am a little
"behind the curve" technologically" speaking, but I do enjoy my
computer and the access it gives me to the outside world. I used to
travel the world,

and I was part of the Financial Establishment that financed
the silicon industry before "Venture Capital" was even an expression!
Thanks for "indulging" me this once!!

Hi Granny, thank you, and welcome. I am only "70" and aim to keep
cranking for another 15 or so.

Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God,
proactive self-defense is for the rest of us.
