The main difference between the ZipPlus drive and the earlier Zip drive is that the former has a parallel and a SCSI port. This is possible with Iomega's new auto detect technology. With this, the drive can be used with either SCSI or parallel connections. This means that users with Macs and PCs need only buy one device. The drive is a cheap and useful peripheral for storing and transferring fast-changing data.
Installation is a breeze.
The instruction manual, with plenty of graphics, is clear and succinct. I was able to connect the cables and install the Iomega Tools software package and drivers without seeking the help of my more technical colleagues, which pleased me. In less than half an hour, I was all set to use the ZipPlus drive. In the final analysis, Windows 95 users will appreciate that simple tasks such as opening, saving, dragging and dropping of files can be performed quickly and efficiently. The makers of this drive appear to have thought of the user's comfort.
