Well, I'll be.....

Anyways, I have also collected quite a few 80 Mb, 160 Mb and 250 Mb for that same reason.  In case they start wearing out.  I also have 3 SCSI zip drives and quite a few 100 Mb zip disks, I would send one your way for the price of shipping.  Although you would have to find your own adapter.  Correct me if I am wrong but you are on 250 V power?  You would need an adapter that reduces to 5V DC for the zip drive.

Contact me by email if interested.
