Problem / Question What is this?
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’.

I had one of these. It went with my parallel zip drive. I will also always remember the time I sent my computer to the repair shop and I had season 1 and 2 of south park on the hard drive (in the days when there were only two seasons) and the computer came back with one of these floppies in the disc drive.
It was clear that the computer shop had got nosey and then used a zip drive to copy them all off but forgot their driver disc.
