My Iomega zip drive is a piece of crap

[panicfc]

It is as I say and is useless. I tried plugging, unplugging, different disks and it won't read anything. I hate it, I loathe its very existence and it sucks.

The lights are flashing, but nothing is happening, very much like Madonna.

That pile of crap is absolete. I mean why buy a $10 Zip disk when you can buy 20 CD-RW's for $10? And they hold just as much as the "latest" zip disk if not, more.

These things were only good back in the day when CD-RW's were mad expensive and not many people had them.

The thing is 3 years old or so, and I have stuff on it that I want to transfer to Cd's, but the information is locked on the bastard piece of crap.

check out this page from gibson research (http://grc.com/tip/clickdeath.htm). it helps identify and fix problems with iomega drives.

Thanks, I'm checking to see if it will work on the Mac. Doesn't look good.

I'm going to send the disks to a friend back in New Orleans, and he'll post them to his website for me to download again.

Crazy.
