wow… are you trying to transer some data from zip disks? I haven’t seen or used them since '99!

Is it urgent? There is a slim possibility I can borrow a working on from the office that we used to use… Only issue is it is likely LPT (parallel port…), so if you’re planning on plugging it into a modern laptop/PC you might be out of luck!

Edit: Failing that, there is one going on ebay (shipped from the states) for ~£50

@promofaux there’s no urgency at all. I just have some old Zip disks that might - just might - have some photos on and our existing Zip drive went bang. So a borrow of one would be amazing, thank you. My husband has an old laptop with LPT ports so that’s no problem.

It should appear in the “Interface” section of your preferences. Here’s a shortcut: https://se23.life/my/preferences/interface
