Lock a Zip Disk?

[Sludgedragon]

I had these Zip 100 disks sitting around for a while, and I found a healthy USB Zip250 drive at Goodwill, so now I have another means of backup for when I'm out of CDRs.

I know how to lock a floppy disk, is there a way to physically lock a Zip disk?

The only way I'm aware of is through Iomega Tools.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just a software lock controlled via Iomega's Tools program (and maybe some 3rd party apps).

 

[Flash!]

I just drill holes in them and use a suitcase-padlock

Use Iomega tools to lock the disk. You may also use Harddisk Toolkit to provide customised access restrictions (HDT supports Iomega ZIP drives). Both helps to prevent you from erasing the disk by mistake. The media do not use any locking tab or similar.
