A long shot I know... But does anyone have a Zip drive handy? An organisation I work with has a single Zip floppy disk. They are keen to see what the contents are.

Where are you? I believe I know someone in Wellington with one.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Auckland. For a single disk I am happy to post to Wellington and have someone send me the files by email/WeTransfer. I have no need for the disk so won't need it to be sent back. Could that work?

Pretty sure I have a zip drive - I'll check tomorrow and make sure it works. FWIW think I have an LS120 drive too

Now that's old tech that takes me back to days of <1Gb HDD

PM if interested.

Edit: in Hawkes Bay but can turn around quickly if needed.
