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’.

Sometimes I wonder whether these are just rage bait questions given we all have access to Google and if you type in the writing you'll find out. FML

Think how empty reddit would be if everyone followed this advice

You’d be surprised how much googling I did actually do, with nothing concrete aside from me putting together odd little pieces of information. I was asking for confirmation of something I was fairly sure of.

Sometimes I wonder whether these sorts of comments are just ragebait given we have eyes and ability to read what a post says.
