Naaaa! Just get an internal Zip, like I just did! The internal is
actually quite nice. It can fit in a 3.5" floppy bay, and if you don't
have any available, the drive comes mounted in a bracket for putting it
in a 5.25" bay. Installation was a snap, and you can set the ID to
anything you want, not just 5 or 6 like the external. I found the
external's case rather flimsy as well, so you avoid that problem and
it's non-spec 25-25 pin SCSI cable. Granted, you can't move an internal
between machines as easily, but depending on your needs this may not be
a consideration.
