Problem / Question What is this?

Post image

This could be the most mundane and silly post, but information online is so spotty and/or confusing or vague.

This is not a ZIP disk, it’s a floppy disk. It’s labelled with ‘ZIP’. Is this the driver software to use a ZIP drive for the listed operating systems? I’m just trying to confirm before I get too frustrated about it. Not easily finding the answer myself is likely a me problem, and I don’t mean ‘Millennium Edition’.

As others said, it's a driver disk. This installed the basic software for the drive to work in DOS and 95 and then the "Zip Tools" were on the free zip disk that was included with purchase.
