I have a lot of useful stuff (mainly old hypercard stacks locked up on a load of ZIP disks, and want to get at them via my Iomega Zip drive. I have a SCSI card lying around (as one does), and wonder if I can get it to function if I jam it into the back of my Pentium 4, 3 GHz, 2 GB RAM Ubuntu

I take it then that the disks are formatted as HFS or HFS plus. This is problematic. Windows will not recognize it. Perhaps Ubuntu will, if you install the correct support files, I do not know. But I don't think that just having drivers for the SCSI card will get you there. You would also need

Sorry, Richmond, By the way, I'm sure I saw some Read Mac files on Windows products in the day. I think it was made by Farallon in conjunction with the first screen-sharing software I'd seen - Timbuktu. They were all for cross-platform compatibility . One day, a long time ago, I put every bit

I've only used a ZIP SCSI external on macs. But I was referring to other iOmega products that use the Bernoulli principle. Like the 8 hard floppy SSL audio console users were forced to use as a 'Hard Drive on older SSL models. Bernoulli was a nice idea, but bound to fail as long the medium is

Not everything. Their Bernoulli drives worked famously. They worked on the same principle but the zip drives were a lot cheaper. Their Jazz drives worked well too, but at one point they also developed a kind of click of death syndrome, and people jumped ship like rats. Bob On Oct 26, 2011,

Two possibilities, then. He could send his zip disks to me, and I could save the files to, say, dvd. Or, I could send him a functioning usb Zip, and he could save them himself. I am sure I have other functioning usb Zip drives around (there was a time when I had them installed in every Mac
