I remember these but I've never used them somehow.

**fatfoo** · 05-24-2010, 04:37 PM

Yeah, it's funny how inventions become obsolete. Apparently the book invention is still not obsolete.

**epitome** · 05-24-2010, 04:39 PM

So wait, nobody uses them anymore?

I have my entire hard drive backed up to two of them.

correct me if I am wrong but back in 1995 or so I used em and i think 25 megabytes or s was the max? I remember a computer class i was taking and the bitch made us use these zip disks to hand shit in...

96 it might have been..

**Sosa** · 05-24-2010, 07:02 PM

Hah, we use some Iomega 35GB tape drives for backup reasons on certain things.

the zip disks were either 100mb, 250mb or 750mb. 100mb zip disks were the originals.

**baddog** · 05-24-2010, 07:26 PM

I just got rid of my Zip drive and discs within the last year.

**Jman** · 05-24-2010, 08:00 PM

I am getting old to ;-)

**Yngwie** · 05-24-2010, 08:06 PM

anyone want to buy my old 80MB hard drive? (just a joke, but the hard drive is actually real) haha This was the hard drive in my first pc. Of course, I only got my first pc in the very early 90's so it's not extremely old. Surprisingly, the hdd still works perfectly.

**2MuchMark** · 05-24-2010, 08:44 PM

I've always had a strange fascination with old computers and would love to get my hands on some old storage tape drives like this one

Anyone ever seen these on ebay?

If you're a weirdo like me, what you should do is check out the tour of "old Nasa". Not only do you get to see the original launch pads and some old rockets, but you get to see and touch the original computers used from way back in the 60's. It was so cool I thought I was in nerd heaven. They had a PDP11 there, and some other computer which I was allowed to open up actually had wire-wrapped posts for internal connections. It was awesome!

(Hi ladies!)

**LeRoy** · 05-24-2010, 08:51 PM

Almost as bad as remembering these.

**CyberHustler** · 05-24-2010, 08:52 PM

**SleazyDream** · 05-24-2010, 10:09 PM

this is bad, but I used to use one of these

**brentbacardi** · 05-24-2010, 10:21 PM

I know the feeling. My first PC was a Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM, 80MB hard drive running Windows 3.11 lol

Trumpet Winsock all the way. lol

I had the same. I was standing in tall cotton wiping my ass with the top leaf back then.

**ottopottomouse** · 05-25-2010, 02:46 AM

Only recently stopped using DAT Tapes

And I can remember playing this for hours and hours

**Scuzz** · 05-25-2010, 02:54 AM

THIS is what you need.

**Rochard** · 05-25-2010, 03:03 AM

I remember buying one of the first 1gig drives and getting a free zip drive.

**raven1083** · 05-25-2010, 03:06 AM

10MB hard disc pic

That's reminded me of taking my brother to pick up a Acorn A3010 and the computer shop man saying that 1MB of RAM was more than anybody would ever need

**cardinalvices** · 05-25-2010, 03:21 AM

Do you all remeber these ancient hard drives?

Work for millions of years, need no electricity and are perfectly green when painted.

Seriously tho, 5.25'' FDD is what I started with. MS-DOS 2.0, Norton Commander and Arkanoid.

**Roby** · 05-25-2010, 03:42 AM
