Best Answer

The original Zip Disks (1994) were 100 Mb, but this was expanded to 250 Mb (1998) and then to 750 Mb (2002).

Finally, Iomega saw the handwriting on the wall (flash drives, camera memory) and put out a Zip-650, which was a standard external CD burner, and began marketing USB drives.

They also marketed the Ditto Tape Drives, Clik 40 Mb drives, and the Jaz external 2 GB drive.

Zip disks come in three different sizes: 100MB, 250MB and 750MB. The Zip Drive must also be compatible with the size of disk in use.

I would offer to sell you mine but it's long gone.
