Dead ZIP Drive

I may have a dead zip drive, the light stays on it now, no matter what. I have a disk in there that needs to be ejected, but is not seen by the Hog. Any suggestions. Also, since there is a drive in there it seems that boot times have gotten really long.

First how do I eject a stuck disk. Second, I guess I need to replace the ZIP.

Will any Zip 250 work, or does High End stock some?

Any standard Zip 250 should work if you can find one.
HES part number is: 25091425

Depending on what is causing the disk to be stuck will determine how you get it out......if the metal flap has gotten caught you might need to crack the drive open.

I'm a bit suprized to hear that anyone is still using Zips since USB support was added back in v3.2.0.

Hope this helps. :)
