Mark,
As per the ZIP drives, they're put out by the folks at IOMEGA. Both SCSI and
Parallel Port versions are available. I hear the parallel port version is
significantly slower, though. The SCSI is a bit slower than a hard drive, but
pretty good compared to other removable media. Apparently you can drop them
from about 8 feet and they'll be cool. The drives just came out in March and
should be available most anywhere by now. For more info I'd try calling the
company or checking out some recent mags.
That's about all I know. Happy trails.

Just found out a little more about the ZIP drive. The parallel port version is
indeed slower, about 2-5 times as slow, I hear. The one bummer thing I've heard
about the drive so far is the external power supply (big & bulky). I'm told
they sell an optional, smaller power supply for like $40.
