Thanks for your answer. My experience with Zip and Jaz seems to be different from yours. I had one Zip drive that died in about 9 years and only a few zip disks. I don't use them for back-up anyway, just to transfer media for clients or printers. On the other hand, my Jaz drive is really more for my every day back-up (I use CDs for "final" back-up). <BR>

The SCSI to USB2 is around $70. I thought that was cheap to be able to keep what's working pretty well so far. Eventually jaz and Zip will go bad and then I'll purchase an external drive. Still feel the same that I should not bother with this old technology??<BR>

Thanks.<BR>
