Re: [MLUG] iomega atapi zip 100

[Shawn Parker <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

looks like i have about 8 drives laying around. 2 are 6.xGB, a 8xxMB,
a couple of 2.x-5.xGB (i'll have to check for sure which is which) and
2 drives that have no markings...looks like they had some kind of
removable rubber jacket around them...don't know where that went.

:)

if you like, you're welcome to any of these. i can't give them all
away but one or two won't be missed. let me know and i'll earmark one
and you can get it from me sometime.

cheers.
