Re: Zip reliability This is Karen Skinner, Chief Clinical Laboratory Scietntist , posting this message. I haven't had problems with my Zip at work. As Robert posted several weeks ago, Boehringer Mannheim mentioned using the Zip as a back up system for their Accu-Chek glucose monitoring data. We are currently considering upgrading our Hitachi 911 chemistry analyser to a 912. The main impetus of that would be an OEM installed Zip drive to alleviate weekly archiving on 3.5 floppies. The data is for patients and QC. It is required by the government to be available for licensing. Hitachi feels the Zip is the way to go and I am all for it. Stay well, Karen This is Robert: If Zip is good enough for a hospital license, for my wife's license as a scientist, good enough for data retrieval for government inspections, good enough for data that people's lives are on the balance of, and recommended for such by Boehringer Mannheim, then it is good enough for me. This joker that says it is not, is obviously an idiot. Best to All Bob
