I recently got off ebay a 'spares or repair' lombard (333MHz) for £6.50. I have plugged it in to a power adaptor and it seems to work fine, but there is no HD or CDROM drive, so I will see about ordering these soon.

It did however come with two VST ZIP100 drives. Does anyone know how much these may be worth if they are working as I may sell one of them (it is unlikely I will need two).

I got one of these in my Wallstreet, but it was DOA. So, I harvested the connector board. It might be useful someday.

They seem to be pretty common, but I would like to see if it's possible to replace the zip 100 mechanism with a 250, or 750. I doubt it, though. ZIP never really took off, though apple offered it as an option on most desktops from 1996-2003 or so.

I still like zip disks. got a 10 pack a while back for $10 new at office depot. I think they stopped selling them. Make great quick backups, or a bootable disk in a jif. Plus I have a drive in my B&W G3, my G4, and a couple external SCSI models, a parallel port model (deathly slow), and a USB version for my PS2

I have one in my wallstreet as well.
ZIP was pretty good for backing up systems at the time, since it had more space than floppies(1 Zip 100mb=about 100 floppies).

I think that maybe you would get about $25-35 for it.

Oh, and iomega still sells zip disks.
