I've been following this thread because I am thinking of buying a Zip

Why in the World would they put the EM release in the Back!?!? Could it
be a Money Maker for whom ever most big and little companies call to fix the
jammed Zip drive? Just a thought.
Ken, I take it all Zip drives are like this? Just gets me to thinking
how to get it in an out easily via the front with longer ribbon and power.
No
I've had internal zip drives for both a Mac (SCSI) and IDE (on a PC, and on a Mac). The SCSI version has a small wire lever, you you either grab it with forceps or a needle nose pliers, and out pops the disk. The internal IDE one had a hole in the front.
More recent USB models (100 and 250's, the flat USB powered design) have the ejector holes in the middle of the eject button. The internal IDE model that came with my Beige G3 had a hole in the front, I"m 90% certain.
The only ones with the holes in the rear I've had were the SCI external and the USB external.
