I had the WORST luck out of those. I had a dozen zip disks go bad and 1/3 Jaz drives.

I guess the material of a floppy disc coupled with near HDD densities wasn’t a good combination. Floppies would just randomly go bad at the best of times.

Do Zip drives work with Linux?

It looks like you could, but probably requires you to build a kernel that supports all the old crap they took out years ago.

If they ever remove floppy support, I’ll be sad.
