Translations:Capteren van data van verouderde dragers van Opera Ballet Vlaanderen/27/en

We used a modern MacBook Pro to capture the data from the Zip disks 100. And we used a Zip 100 drive and a Zip 250 drive, both of which were manufactured in 2000. The Zip disk drives have a USB port so we could connect them to the laptop using a USB cable. We didn’t need any extra software to read the Zip drives. But because Zip drives don’t have a built-in write protection tab, we used a write blocker as an intermediate piece between the Zip disk drive and the MacBook Pro. A write blocker stops a computer from writing files on the external drive, which ensures that the data on the drive remains authentic.
