Zip Drive

Will an internal Zip Drive and A: drive from a Packard Bell work in my Dell computer? I assume that the Zip Drive will and the A: drive won't. Of course I am probably backwards on that assumption. Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Yeah, they should. As long as you have room for them. The Floppy drive will go on the end of the cable by itself, and you will probably want the Zip drive on the same cable as one of your CD/DVD drives. That way you don't slow down your hard drive.

 

If my existing CD Drives are on one cable(2 Drives), how will add the Zip Drive? Thanks!

 

You can put it on the cable with the hard drive, although it will slow it down a bit.

Another option would be to buy a PCI IDE card. I think you can get them for about $30 and you can put up to 4 drives on them.

 

I am going to continue this thread once I get home and sit in front of the computer in question. Thanks for your help thus far.
