If i have a scsi 100, 250, 750mb zip drive would i need a usb that is also 100, 250, 750mb zip drive and 100, 250, 750mb zip disks or it doesn't matter? Basically do i have to have the same kind of mb for each one?
 
it's the same answer I gave you on the MPc Forums...

A Zip 100 drive can read & write to Zip 100 disks ONLY regardless of connector.
A Zip 250 drive can read & write to both Zip 100 and Zip 250 disks ONLY regardless of connector.
A Zip 750 drive can read & write to Zip 250 and Zip 750 disks but ONLY reads the Zip 100 disks.
 
Whoa, they went up to 750mb? It's too bad zip ended up being so unreliable and expensive. I don't know how many of those things I went through in college (previous century, no USB flash etc). They really were handy at the time, but every couple of weeks and *click click click click* cyclic redundancy error.
