At home, Windows 7. At work, Mac OSX 10.5 for typesetting jobs (i.e., actual work); Windows XP on the crappy old computer I'm using now.

An OT question: does Linux recognize Zip drives?

Win7 does not and I have a dozen or so Zip disks I want to check for content. The drive is in my machine from the XP days & BIOS recognizes it.

farmkid · December 8 2012, 04:41 PM

Windows XP, Fedora 16, Centos 5 and 6, and Android 2.3 reguarly. Windows Vista, Windows 7, and OSX on occasion.

Not out of the box, fix for IDE drives:

And one for parallel port drives.

Win7 does not seem to support the zip drive at all.

It's an IDE. Will that fix work if I'm running Ubuntu from a CD?

And, yeah, Win7 absolutely does not recognize any Zip drives. There's some who claim theirs does, but never explain how.

Windows Vista on my laptop (though i'll try out the 90 day Windows 8 test version in a separate partition soon)

Android on my cell phone

Don't feel the need to add anything else.. not a fan of Apple and have left my Unix days behind me

I have no idea.. I've got a parallel port zip drive and I use it in combination with a win2K machine...

Windows 8 on my PC, Server 2008R2 (courtesy technet subscription)/Linux (PABXiaf)/FreeBSD (pfsense) on my server sitting atop VMWare ESXi 5. iOS 4 something on my iPhone 3G, ICS on my Acer Iconia (everyone at my college got one), and Honeycomb on my HTC Jetstream (got dirt cheap as employee discount). Pissed that I can't upgrade either Android tablets further due to a lack of vendor support.
