    Zip 100 drivers for Win 10.


    I'm trying to get a old internal zip 100 drive to work with win 10. I'm using a USB adapter with IDE and a power adapter.

    Windows can not even see the device, are there any drivers needed?

    Hi not sure what your issue is, but I will say I have an Iomega external USB Zip drive and it does work under Windows 10 as I posted here: Iomega USB Zip Drive. No drivers necessary for that USB unit, just plug and play.

    Perhaps you could post a link/image of your drive?

    I've never tried that, but a little Web searching suggests that it may never work.

    In the let-them-eat-cake line, it's still possible to buy new USB 250MB Zip drives (which can also read/write 100 MB cartridges) and 100 MB ones.

    If you're retrieving data, there are commercial services that can do it. If this one Computer Media Conversion Services is typical ($30 per Zip 100 disk), it wouldn't be cost effective if you have more than a couple of disks.
