Zip and Disks

Two weeks ago i spotted an ad for a SCSI Zip drive for free, was close to work, so sent a message.

Got a message the very next day to collect the drive.

The lady said she can give me some floppy disks also if required.

In the end i collected 10 packs of unused and sealed floppy disks, some new 250 Mb Zip  disks, a pair of 100 Mb Zip disks and 3 Zip drives.

The SCSI was indeed a Parallel drive, and the two USB drives didn't worked (one had no activity at all, the other had a clicking head)

Today, i removed the head from the dead and swapped it with the working unit, but clicking one.

And got a working USB unit.

Never had one of those clear units, so is nice, the Parallel can be used for parts, and the PSU will be used as a spare.

I have given away some disks also.

 
nice, good going, in all the years ive been really lucky to only have 1 with click of death out of many....
