That's going a bit far. Yes, a lot of people of had problems with them. But far more haven't. I've a zip connected to my mac, and three others at the office. I've ever only had problems with one and that was the first one I bought 5 years ago. After THREE YEARS of daily, constant use it developed click 'o death and had to be replaced. In the publishing industry at least, there is no other removeable drive that is as useful as zip drives - they're very much the industry standard. --- To the original poster, there are two things that may work. First, try holding your mouse button down through start-up. This is an old method for ejecting a floppy, but on a friend's G3, it does the same for the zip. Second, and less likely to work, try holding the manual eject button in all through start-up. I've read that this resets the mechanism and ejects the disk.
