Hope you all had a good christmas.
I have a zip drive here which, if anyone would like it, is free to a good home.
(Remember, a zip drive is not just for christmas)

I've got about 3 of them already :-) a 100mb, a 250mb and 750mb. If
you're having problems using yours with Linux I did write a HOW TO on
the Ubuntu site. It's pretty easy to adapt for other distro's.

Actually I don't really know anything about it but I probably don't
need it. It mounts in the case and looks like fat floppy.

Ah - so if it's internal it's probably SCSI, rather than parallel
port? Is this born out by the connector?
I presume it's 100MB?
There are still places that use these, so if no-one on the list
claims it (I suggest bringing it along to the next meeting, people
are much more prone to temptation when something is right in
front of them ;-) - then I could put it on my pile of things
to be re-homed.
I'm really going to have to get a bit more active on getting
rid of some of my less-commonly-required equipment next year -
perhaps the 20" SGI monitor should be next to go?
