Does anyone know if a USB Zip drive will work with Windows 10? I am willing to spend that much, but I am concerned there will be driver and/or Windows 10 issues.

The Zip 250 USB Powered drive costs 180 and comes with one U-shaped, 250MB disk (additional disks cost about 15 each).

In those boxes was a Zip Drive (parallel port version) I had purchased in or around 1996. ![]() My Computer.My family recently sold the house I grew up in requiring me to remove a number of boxes that I had stored there.
