See attached photos. The drives have not been tested, the parallel one accepts disks and whirrs like it should when a disk is inserted, but the USB one appears jammed. Doesn't include cables or power adapter. $15 incl. shipping.

Zip drives, as-is? No offense, but a bad one can mangle disks, which will go on to destroy other drives. Unless selling for parts, you'd get more by checking both out. :)
 
Fair enough - I'm just lazy to check them and clearing some things out. I'll check the parallel one if anyone expresses interest and would like them checked - I can confirm that the USB one is DEFINITELY parts only because you can't even get a disk in there if you try.
 
Haven't tried manually ejecting disks from it, but when I power the parallel drive it ejects disks with the normal eject button just fine.
 
Could be a power issue or an intermittent mechanical problem--it does happen.

On the rear of the unit, there should be a small hole. Get a paper clip or similarly-sized piece of stiff wire and stick it into the hole to release the disk.
