Now not supported buy Iomega, I have one of thier drives and had used it alot. But with the new Windows O/S I am hard pressed to find drivers for W2K and XP. I found the drivers for NT but they do not work with the others. Do any folks out there know where I can get the drivers? Or do I need to buy a new zip? This has been a great drive for a few years, I hate to stop using it.

Since Sparq went under several years ago, you are not going to have much lluck getting support for the drive.

Before you go out and get a Zip drive, may I make a few alternate suggestions.

USB thumb drives. These are large capacity Flash memory arrays. As such, they are nearly indestructible.

Same for Compact Flash, or Smart Media readers.
For $20 per PC, you can have a reader.
128MB memory modules cost around $50.

CD-RW, or DVD-RW. Compare the cost of media versus a Zip drive.
As a plus, the CDs or DVDs can be read on mostPCs that have CD/DVD drives.
