Only one company ever made Zip drives and that is Iomega. Your choice are pretty limited - you either buy a 100MB Zip drive or a 250MB Zip drive. The 250MB Zip drive will give you 1.5 times more storage per disk and they operate much faster than the 100MB drives (as long as you are using 250MB disks).

You aren't clear about whether you have an MPC2000 Classic or an MPC2000XL. If you have the XL, I recommend that you get one of our CF solutions, which are very inexpensive for the ATAPI drives. If you have the Classic, a Zip drive will be the cheapest mass storage option available.

But be warned - all Zip drives fail. It is not a matter of IF but only a matter of WHEN. :(
