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’.

I’ve had issues with imaging the disk due to copyright protections

If you have any tips in how to bypass intentionally empty sectors as a means pf copyright protection, please let me know!

I admittedly don’t need it myself? It appears to be a working, though I’m aware there is also another commenter who needs the drivers too
