That's if the ZIP disks or drives work at all. Horrible technology, bound to

Um; nothing quite like a few encouraging words; I love you too, Stephen

I take it then that the disks are formatted as HFS or HFS plus. This is
problematic. Windows will not recognize it. Perhaps Ubuntu will, if you
install the correct support files, I do not know. But I don't think that
just having drivers for the SCSI card will get you there. You would also
need Zip drivers to get it to properly recognize the zip drive, and I
seriously doubt they have THAT for Ubuntu.
You may be in a catch 22 here. I would say an old mac with a SCSI port is
your only hope. If you boot the Mac with a zip disk in the drive and
connected, the system will read the drivers off the zip disk, as per the
SCSI specification, and away you go. I think it will have to be OS 8 or OS 9
though.

I have a lot of useful stuff (mainly old hypercard stacks locked up on a

and want to get at them via my Iomega Zip drive. I have a SCSI card lying
around (as one does),

Pentium 4, 3 GHz, 2 GB RAM
Ubuntu machine . . .
Ideas would be gratefully received.
