| A type of removeable media made by Iomega® Corporation which stores digital data from a Zip® drive. Currently, Zip cartridges are available in two capacities; 100 MB and 250 MB. A different type of Zip drive is required for each, and can be used with both Mac and PC computers. Zip drives are available with USB, SCSI, or parallel port connections. They are used as a convenient way to store large amounts of data from a computer or an electronic musical instrument that has the proper connection. If a larger memory capacity is required (large digital audio files, for example), Iomega makes two different Jaz® drives; one which uses 1 GB cartridges, and one which uses 2 GB cartridges. |
