Are you referring to the old PocketZip Clik! drive? A friend of mine
bought one for his laptop a few years ago, never uses it now.
The Iomega website gives its specifications here
https://iomega-eu-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomega_eu_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=650&p_created=1072727136&p_sid=Rx*HlP2i&p_lva=14599&p_li=
but bizarrely gives the drive dimensions in mm and the disk dimensions
in inches. Various other specs are given in either metric or imperial,
apparently at random.
Although I think the following spec contains a typo:
"Operating altitude To 3.048 meters (10,000 feet)"
At just over 3 metres it would be unusable in any building upstairs!

Avoid confusion with conversion, just learn to think metric!

Probably off topic: Nat mentions the keychain jump-drives (USB memory
keys). We are hiring some engineers right now who just got laid off
from a company that was developing a 1.8" floppy drive (don't know if
it was really 45 mm or not). These USB memory keys pretty much killed
the market for a mini removable data format.
The company was a division of the old Iomega (jazz drive, zip drive),
which was headquartered in Roy, Utah, about 30 miles north of Salt
Lake City. Iomega is now but a shadow of its former self.
