The Iomega ZIP drive comes with an executable for Windows 3.1 and another for
Windows95. I wrote them concerning their poor documentation because the file
they say is the Win95 executable, ain't. It's not too hard to figure out though.

That's news to me, as I've been using my ZIP drive exclusively under Win95
since I installed it.

I don't think it's the driver software.

Like Win, my wife has never had a problem with her Zip drive. She asks, "Is
it an Iomega Zip drive or an Epson Zip drive?" She wonders if "Zip" has
already become a generic term for high capacity storage disks. I know
SyQuest makes a competing product. Does Epson?
