I just installed an EZ drive in about 20 minutes - on Windows 95. That's including the new Adaptec SCSI controller. I wanted to get a ZIP drive, but couldn't find any in stock anywhere. I am very happy with what I have seen so far. Very fast disk r/w speeds. Perfect for what I need. As far as using recycled materials for making the disks - that kind of scares me - but don't you think they are trying to keep the cost as low as possible, and not trying to raise it to compete with the ZIP drives - of course they are. Do storage prices ever increase??? Besides RAM. I haven't had experience with the ZIP drives, other than some of my friends use them, and say they have lost diskette data several times (not to say this won't happen witht the EZ). Another deciding factor for me is experience. Although I don't know who makes ZIP and how long they have been on the block - but Syquest has been doing this $%^&$#%$ - making removable media for as long as I can remember, since I was a cocky 14 year old learning about Foxbase (Im 28 now). HTH Later, Jordan
