Zip Drives in Amiga

That is true. It would take up the PCMCIA slot, when it is better used for a network card or CF adapter.

I hope the IDE Zip drive works OK. Maybe have a look on aminet.net as they had quite a few Iomega Zip tools and utilities on there a while ago that might be useful for you.

Ok, i will take a look on aminet. people say that it's just connect the Zip and it will work, no drivers needed... let's see...

If an IDE zip does work like a large floppy drive in the Amiga without needing any device drivers then I might be tempted to get one myself. Would be a useful additional removable storage device. Although, these days using a cheap PCMCIA CF card adapter and some free software is a great solution to quickly move 4GB of files.

yes, i see the zip as a nice way to store data in my A1200 tower. the pcmcia is inside, i have the 90º angle, but still is inside case, so the zip drive in a a 5,25 bay would be a nice solution. and you can get a cheap one easly.
