[muglo] Re: USB 250-meg Zip with 10.3.9--Again!

I have a Zip 100 Drive on my eMac under OS X (10.3)  and has no 
problems.   I agree that it is great for transferring files as I did 
from an earlier computer which had no USB or Ethernet ports but using 
another SCSI Zip Drive.  I also transferred files from the iBook using 
a simple Ethernet connection.

My 2c worth
