External Zip 750 drive to borrow?

[randomness]

I have all this old data backed up onto a pile of Iomega Zip disks right now, and a Zip 250 drive I inherited in someone else's move. Trouble is, the Zip 250 USB drive is incompatible with versions of Mac OS above 10.2.

I was going to order a Zip 750 drive, until cmeckhardt suggested I ask around and see if any of my friends had a drive I could borrow for a few weeks. (I have a lot of data.)

If you do have one you're willing to lend, I can come to you to borrow it and to return it later.

Thanks in advance!

A USB Zip 250 drive worked fine with my Mac OS X 10.5.4 system. Read and write to a Zip 100 disk in the test I just did. And, I know for a fact they work with 10.4 and 10.3. Just plug them in and they go.

That said, I have a Zip 750 drive here in Petaluma. Had you asked two weeks ago I could have loaned it to you while I was out there!

There must be something wrong with the drive I inherited, then. It lights up, but refuses to mount anything. I've tried a number of disks and both USB ports.

Alas!
