You can check out the website which will give you full details of each of
the products http://www.iomega.com/. You can even order online (seems to
be priced just in US Dollars).
The Zip drive stores 100 MB, the Jazz drive 250 MB and they produce a
rewritable CD writer too (650 MB).
If you have Windows 98 you can use a USB version of the drive, which does
appear as an additional drive. I use one at home to read files I've saved
on my internal drive at work.
