Iomega Zip Drive History: The Zip drive is a medium-capacity removable disk storage system, introduced by Iomega in late 1994. Originally, Zip disks launched with capacities of 100 MB, but later versions increased this to first 250 MB and then 750 MB.

The format became the most popular of the super-floppy type products which filled a niche in the late 1990s portable storage market. However it was never popular enough to replace the 3.5-inch floppy disk nor could ever match the storage size available on rewritable CDs and later rewritable DVDs. USB flash drives ultimately proved to be the better rewritable storage medium among the general public as all the needed hardware required to use them is a USB slot. Zip drives fell out of favor for mass portable storage during the early 2000s.

Interfaces: These Zip drives are available with the ATAPI interface:

• ATAPI (all Zip generations; the Zip 250 has an external ATAPI connection that is used to connect to the Akai MPC)
