As if 170 floppy disks of memory weren't enough,Iomega's 250MB External USB Drive is also lightweight andbackward-compatible with Iomega's 100MB disks. This Zip drivelets you use it where and when you need it, without the hassle ofinstalling it into just one system. And connecting via a USB port,it can be used with both Macs and PCs. The Zip 250MB's QuikSyncsoftware automatically backs up your favorite file directory whenyou save a file there, and its Copy Machine software allows you tocopy Zip or Jaz disks using one or two drives. An available PCMCIAcard for notebooks runs off its host's power, eliminating theneed for external power on the road. Minimum requirements areWindows 95/98/NT or OS 8.1 or higher, as well as 31MB hard-drivespace and a 2x CD-ROM.
