SuperDisks and Zip drives are used to store substantial amounts of information, which can help you free up hard disk space. They are an excellent portable storage alternative when you need more storage capability than a 1.44MB floppy can provide.
The average SuperDisk can store 120MB of data, while remaining compatible with the average 1.44MB floppy disk. SuperDrive technology supports IDE, PCMCIA, USB, and parallel connectivity.
Zip disks resemble floppy disks, but are about twice as thick. Zip disks can store either 100MB or 250MB, which is convenient for storing graphics or any other large files or programs for archival purposes, as well as for exchanging large amounts of information. Zip drive technology supports a parallel or SCSI connection. The Zip drive can be external or internal to the system unit.
