Jaz drive (and the isa scsi card) and several tapes.
Thanks for reminding me that I can’t trust my own memory and that they were NOT called Jazz drives
Woah, so you're the other person who bought a Jaz drive! I knew we'd meet eventually.
My school had them everywhere back then. At one point, I owned 2 jaz drives, several Zip drives, and countless disks for each. I later worked the phones during Iomega's click of death scandal. Yeah, I'm old.
I had Zip and Jaz drives as well. A couple years ago a guy at work was doing some weird project where he neede a bunch of zip disks, so I gave him my box of them and he transferred my data to a couple DVDs. Found a lot of photos, old forgotten code of mine, and D&D scenarios I had written and never played. Homebrew spells, magic items, etc... which I'm now using in my campaign. Great treasure trove!
Zip drives were all over campus for me in the early 2000's too. I've got a Zip & a Zip 250 somewhere...
