Rumor has it that Brian Lanning may have mentioned

In times past, I owned SCSI Zip drives, one each internal & external. Not
sure if I even still have them; but they certainly exist and might be easy
(if not cheap) to acquire thru ePay.
They show up on ebay all the time. They're on the shopping list as
well. This external scsi enclosure was sort of intended to hold all
sorts of removable scsi contraptions that I wanted to play with.
I had kept the internal one for one of
my CoCos "just in case" I acquired a SCSI card for it, but now that I have
IDE, I'm torn whether to set it up with an available IDE zip drive I have,
setup an IDE Castlewood Orb for that purpose, or inform my wife that I
"Really Need[TM]" an upgrade for a my Nikon D70, so I could use my 1G
compact flash cards currently allocated to that task for the CoCo.
I guess a zip or jaz drive formatted to fat32 should work with file
exchange since it seems to know about PC floppy disks. Does this
sound right?
