Zip sounds like another possibility, then. I don't have any experience with
the devices personally. Do they tend to be resistant to corruption? For
instance, I really wouldn't trust a floppy disk for r/w over long periods
-- add to that the possibility of abrupt power loss. Do Zip drives tend to
corrupt data in such situations?
