Point-counter point...
I have a DP500 with a ZIP in it. 100, don't care for the 250's.
All in all, Iomega has had the best service I've encountered in anything computer related.
I've had two drives replaced, new parts at my door the next day.
I use Zip disks as floppies, between my Mac and PC at work and my Mac at home.
I have an internal SCSI, IDE and three externals, all Zip 100 and a 1GB JAZ that never should have been released. it makes a good paperweight tho.
