This information storage device is available in both internal and external versions. It is very comfortable. After all, when your computer has an internal ZIP drive, you can transfer the floppy disk from it only to a computer that also has such a device. With an external ZIP, you can connect it to the parallel or SCSI port of any computer. The device can be configured and installed in literally five to ten minutes and allows you to save information on disks with a capacity of 100 megabytes. ZIP disks are formatted for both IBM and Macintosh computers. Recently, a slightly modified version of these devices has appeared, called ZIP+. It has reduced the size of the power supply to make it more convenient to carry them with you. In addition, the mechanics of the drive have also been improved. There are two versions of ZIP – one designed to connect to a parallel printer port, and the other to connect to a SCSI adapter.
