Dave, We have an external SCSI Zip connected to the c600, an internal SCSI in the 9600, expansion bay versions in the two laptops, and a USB one connected to the iMac Flat Panel at the shop. IMHO they all seem to work about the same. Ours are a mixture of 100MB and 250MB. I don't see any speed difference in the various capacities either. Phil was right, the USB ones are kind of flaky. I regularly have problems getting the USB one to spit out a disk. Avoid those if at all possible. In a slightly related area... I had some read/write problems with some of the disks when I swapped them back and forth from machines running OS 9 and OSX. I resolved that by erasing all the disks using OSX's Disk Utility. I no longer use the Iomega Disk Erase program. Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
