I have an external SCSI Zip 100 drive that has developed the COD. I'm
convinced that they won't replace it. But I have lots of data on 100
disks. I checked the Iomega website and don't see SCSI Zip 100 drives
available.

Suggestions?

Hi,

I'd just get a used 100MB external SCSI drive from eBay,
for perhaps $10 plus shipping.
Test it with a good disk using the GRC.com
"trouble in paradise" program to ensure it is in good condition,
before feeding the used drive any of your data disks.

I doubt "refurbished" Zip drives are even opened,
just cleaned externally and tested.

Regards,
Ed Knobloch
