Hi. Just got a quick question about my zip drive. It proablly a stupid question but I would not rather assume anything when is comes to computers.
Are Fujifilm Zip Disks compatible with Iomega 750MB Drives?
Thanks.

Well, obviously, the first thing I'd look at, is the disk the same physical format? There may be more than one type/shape of Zip disk. Other than that, I would think any Zip disk would work in a Zip drive (trademark of Iomega). The drive will write at whatever density the disk is, 100MB, 250MB, etc.
Hmm we've only used Zip disks in ours. You might want to contact the manufacturer.
A Zip disk is a Zip disk. Fujifilm makes all kinds of media. I use their DLT tapes in my Quantum drives all the time.
Fujifilm zip disks are perfectly compatible with Iomega drives. The one problem you may run into is that most 750 MB Zip drives will only write to disks 250 MB and larger--100 MB disks will be "read only".
Thanks for replies. I am going to go out and purchase the Fujifilm disks. Thanks again.
