Operating Your Zip® Drive
To use the Zip® drive, insert a 250MB* Zip disk, then select the drive letter assigned to the Zip drive in My Computer (Windows 95/98; Windows NT 4.0) or File Manager (Windows NT 3.51; Windows 3.1). You can store and copy files to and from the Zip® drive using the same methods you use for other drives on your system. (If you need instructions on how to copy files, refer to the help file for your operating system.)
*250MB or 100MB capacity where 1MB = 1 million bytes. The capacity reported by your operating system may vary. Use 250MB Zip disks for maximum performance.
