Zip Drives With Floppy Disks

This might be a stupid question, but I dont give a crap

Are floppy disks compatible with zip drives? Im talking about the floppy disks that have a little bit of storage space.

no.

So I can only use zip disks???

Floppy=2MB
Zip=100 or 250MB

Also they are physically different sizes.

Damn so I cant use floppy disks at all??

So I have to buy these damn expensive zip disks?

You can use floppy disks, you just have to put them in the floppy drive.

Remember to buy the disks that are compatible with your zip drive.

250 and 750 disks will never work in in a 100 MB zip drive, a 250 MB drive can read and write 100 and 250 disks.
A 750 drive on the other hand (if I remember correctly) can read and write 750 and 250 disks but only read 100 disks.

You are right! 750 CAN NOT write to zip100! READ ONLY

i personally would choose the zip 100 , just in case of loosing the data i loose less!

Change out that Zip drive with a card reader just to be on the safe side.
