I don't think Zip drives can read normal floppies, can they? I know the SuperDisk does, but I don't think the ZIP drives can.

EDIT: a quick search tells me that no, they can't.

I think what he means is the Zip driver he has is stored on a floppy disk, & computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive.  So all he needs is a way to download the driver.
BTW, I used to have a Zip100USB.  It was a POS.  Zip Parallel was worse.

Stored it away when I got a parallel to SCSI converter cable for external SCSI HD's, then an HD-45 hard drive enclosure with both parallel & PCMCIA interfaces.  Retired the HD-45 for external USB image backup a couple years ago.
