- I don't know about *far* outweighing it, but:
-
- - Larger capacity (about 30 Meg more per disk)
- - Faster transfer rates
- - SCSI interface is more flexible - you can assign any unit number
- - Metal case instead of plastic
- - Media is marginally cheaper than Zip disks
- - On/off switch
- - Warranty is longer
- - Can be used as an internal drive (can you do this with a Zip? I don't know.)
-
- I just got an EZ, and had zero problems getting it to work on my A3000.
- Plugged it in, turned it on, put in a disk, ran HDToolbox, and that was
- it - worked first time. I like it.
