True - doesn't mention USB version, and comments in the introduction are 
dated (100Mb isn't exactly high capacity any longer).

Pity

Not so! Not often, but there is data on Zip cartridges out there, the 
same as there is on floppy disks. I come across them about once a year, 
but I'm nerdy like that.

Whilst the article in question could benefit from an update, its the 
best there is. I wonder if 64-bit Windows is capable of working with 
some Zip drives any longer. This is another good reason to use FreeBSD.

I have a collection of pretty much every Zip drive ever made (and some 
still work!); I could try out the instructions and see what still works.
