Q: What other goodies are offered with Zip? A: A small color brochure is included with the drive selling such items as carrying cases, Zip disk holders, extra Zip disks which are more expensive than mail order and some retail outlets , Zip disk labels, Zip SCSI cables, the aforementioned PowerBook adapter, power supplies, Zip SCSI cards, and Zip Tools for the three mentioned platforms. It is mentioned in the Zip documentation that a Zip drive cleaning kit is offered through Iomega; however, there is no evidence of this kit in the color brochure.

Q: Any other things, good or bad, that I should know? A: There are some issues which some people find fault with which I'll point out here. When the drive is plugged into an active electrical outlet, it's on; when it's unplugged, it's off. I personally have no problem with this as my drive is plugged into a switchable power station Kensington MasterPiece Plus; no affiliation, though I think this is an excellent unit and I can turn it off and on with the station's button.

When the drive is not accessed for a few minutes, the drive kicks down into a low-power mode. When the drive needs to be accessed while in low-power mode, it only takes about a second for the drive to get back into action considerably less time than it takes for a PowerBook's hard drive to spin back up. When inserting a disk, there is no lengthly spin-up time like a SyQuest drive so the disk is almost instantly available.

When a disk is ejected, there is no spin-down time so the disk ejects at least as fast if not faster than a floppy disk, and leaves the drive with a very solid and satisfying "ker-CHUNK" sound. Q: I want more information and, gee-golly-gosh-darn-it, this FAQ just isn't enough! How can I get in touch with the folks who make the Zip? A: It turns out that there's a whole lot of different ways you can contact Iomega.

I've received some reports from several people who state that this power supply works in several different countries. Zip owners in the USA who travel within the country with their Zip drive may want to consider this power supply as it is indeed smaller and lighter than the standard power supply almost half the size, in fact and would make portability that much easier.

Q: Does that "Universal Power Supply" include all ten billion adapters to fit the various electrical outlets of the world? A: No idea. The person I spoke with at Iomega told me that he thinks it includes several different adapters, but isn't positive. A: Well, it's the same thing as a Zip drive for Mac. Depending on your SCSI interface, it should be about the same speed. If you want SCSI-2 or a bus-master card? Infoworld reports backing up MB in 57 minutes 6.

A: Yes. In fact, Iomega ships the drive with floppies for both Macs and PCs, but there's a catch.

So if you run the install program from a Mac, it erases the DOS partition and vice versa.
