This was my weekend project... Last year I got an external 5.25" #iomega #Bernoulli disk drive (the 90/150 MB variant). Sadly, those "portable" drives had an SCSI enclosure made out of plastic and due to the way it was handled, the case was badly broken with missing parts - hence beyond repair.
Took me quite some time to find a fitting replacement enclosure. I wanted one with no audio-out ports on the back, as that is not a CD-ROM and I did not want unused ports. Second, the face plate is non-standard and ever so slightly larger than a normal one, so the drive did not fit in any of the SCSI cases I had. However, a few weeks ago, I finally found a perfect one - or so I thought...
After installing the drive and hook up all cables, powering it up did nothing. Of course, the PSU in this enclosure was broken - who had guessed. So I spend three days creating a new one incl. a mounting plate, fitting connectors etc.
Only have to wire up the SCSI ID selector switch and then it's done.

👾 Why Zip drives dominated the 90s, then vanished almost overnight
｢ Enter 1994, when a company called Iomega introduced its variant of a "superfloppy", the Zip drive. In terms of physical size, Zip disks were only slightly larger than a typical floppy, yet the initial capacity introduced in 1994 reached a whopping 100MB, which was huge number when put up against the traditional floppy disk ｣

Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

Дорого, красиво, прогрессивно — история краха Iomega Zip
На дворе 1995 год. Ваш цифровой мир зажат в тисках трехдюймовых дискет, которые вмещают смешные по нынешним меркам 1,44 МБ. Передать документы или программы — целая история, порой требующая целой стопки дисков. И тут на сцене появляется Iomega Zip с ее фантастическими 100 МБ!

Mitä tapahtui aikoinaan hyvinkin suosituille Zip-levyille?
Korppujen korvikkeet ehtivät nauttia suosionsa huipusta vain parin vuoden ajan.
