    Hey Guys,
    I got an old dell from my friend, it runs 98. My mom's wedding pictures are on a ZIP Disk(Don't ask why, I think our friend who did it did it to bug her.) I got an internal ZIP Drive from my college. Now do I need drivers for it to work after I install it? if so where can I get them? My mom wants her pictures off the Disk.
    Thanks,
    Spock96

    I am assuming you have an ATAPI 100MB zip drive. You can install it like a hard drive. I believe the jumper is set to slave as default so you will have to change that if it is set up as master. I would start here. You also want to download Iomegaware for the zip drive. I am not sure if you are using 98 or 98SE. In order to download the drivers you will need to register an account.
