I'm simply amazed at the crazy prices for these drives. As I
said,
it's oboslete technology now so you'd think they'd want to get rid of
them ASAP!!! Even the disks still seem to be way overpriced... why?
Because it IS obsolete technology. It's supply and demand: there's no
demand for them, so supply is particularly expensive.
They weren't exactly common in their day. CDs had already cemented a
hold over Zip disks long before the 750MB disks were released.
That's why :)
