I found that EPSON also made a ZIP drive (in fact a copy of IOMEGA's one), but it looks more natural when used with an ACORN machine (because of its white colour):

Oh, interesting. Definitely a better match, I've never seen one like that.

I think they were not produced in Europe, but I might be wrong...

Definitely looks nice.

Not interested enough to buy one. Yet...

I am now wondering if the A5000 would take an internal ZIP Drive?
