![]() ![]() I still have a ZIP250 sitting in one of my G4 towers, however, and do some restoration work that comes to me that way.Īn "interface," in most professionals' parlance is something more like a standalone unit such as the Focusrite units I gave away my old Macs years ago including my BeigeG3 with the ZIP250, CD-RW and USB card. Not necessary with email as it zips attachments automatically. Un-Stuff/Zip grants privileges to that user automatically. Macs often had ZIP100 drives from Apple-these cannot read or write ZIP250 disks but ZIP250 drives can read/write the older disks which are still available.Īlways Zip or Stuffit the files before burning to disk or moving to a shared drive including Dropbox. If the old Mac has an Iomega ZIP drive, that also works in case someone has a ZIP drive that can read those disks. ![]() Next best is a CD if someone installed an IDE or SCSI CD-RW drive. The best way is to email them off if possible as that zips the files first. If successful, then you need to get those files off. Unfortunately, no Mac exists with the old 800K compatible floppy and USB unless someone installed a PCI-USB card into one.
