How to Download Drivers From a Zip Drive
A zip drive looks similar to a thick floppy disk drive, however, instead of having a little more than one megabyte of storage space, a zip disk can store over 100 megabytes, depending on the kind of disk you are using. You can use zip disks to save any content to and even upload just about any kind of file. This includes the ability to install drivers onto your computer from the zip drive.
