and copy files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you use

Always turn on power to the computer before inserting a Zip disk.
When you insert a Zip disk, the drive busy light will flash momentarily
and go out. (If the light continues to blink slowly, push the disk eject
button to eject the Zip disk, then reinsert it.)
When you remove the Zip disk from the drive, store it in the protective
case. It is not necessary to remove the Zip disk from the drive when you
shut down your computer; however, if you desire to remove the Zip disk,
do so before turning off power to your computer.
CAUTION Never force a disk into or out of the Zip drive. M
Handling Zip Disks
Always store Zip disks in their protective cases when they are not inserted
in your Zip drive.
