No. It's a (non compressing) 100 Mb floppy with access speeds/times similar to a (slower) hard disk. : How many MB can it take? The ZIP drives can store 100Mb per disk (4" by 4" by 0.25" disks). The new JAZ disks will be able to store 1070Megs (yup, 1Gig!!) per floppy. For more info, http://www.iomega.com/ Scott.
