Emax

I actually purchased an unused/sealed external Iomega zip100 SCSI drive off
e-bay a few weeks ago. It was still boxed and sealed when I received it.
It's a US model running at 120v - I'm not sure if it would be suitable for
you? I only need it to transfer some sounds from zip disks to CF. I would
be happy to sell it on for the price I paid for it plus shipping as I will
only have used it for a couple of weeks by the time I'm done with it.

The original e-bay listing is here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280960544798and shows the price (and shipping)
that I paid for it.

If you're interested, let me know.
