Yes, <em>that</em> Zip. The <a href="https://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq4.htm">Click of Death</a> kind.</p> <p>Someone gave me lovely Tangent tower for free the other day - that&rsquo;s another topic - and there was a Zip drive in it. It was manufactured in 2000. I just hoped there weren&rsquo;t many hours on it. I didn&rsquo;t have a spare disk to check if the drive was good - I probably should have gotten one to test with.</p>
