- Call Mac zone or look at any Mac magazine. They've been publishing photos
- of the internal Zip for months. (5.25")

- MacZone sells the internal Zip for $179 (w/100MB)

- The drive OPENING for the Zip is 3 & 7/8 inches wide - that leaves 1/16 of
- an inch on either side for drive casing, and internally the guides and
- loading mechanism extend past 1/16th of an inch on both sides. Given that,
- I doubt that a 3.5" form Zip will be made available - but if it is, it
- will have to be redesigned or packed VERY tight (if at all) to fit.
-
- Call MacZone to buy one and tell me how it goes.
