I've had my ZIP drive for just over 7 months, and have not had any 
problems with the drive, or the media.

It did take a long time to get the promised rebate, but it di come.

I have Fuji, Sony, and Iomega brand media. The only anomoly I've noticed 
is that when I eject a Sony disk, it literally is totally ejected from 
the drive and goes clattering to the desk surface. Iomega and Fuji both 
eject about 1 to 1.5 inches, but stay in the drive.

Peace,
Caryn
