- -> would just look like unformatted disks to those machines. Then you

- Just a note to those considering the use of a degausser to erase the
- contents of a ZIP disk. Iomega states that the use of a degausser on a
- ZIP disk will likely destroy the control tracks on the ZIP disk, thus
- destroying it in an unrecoverable manner, and voiding any media
- warranty. Not a good idea.
