Apple Macintosh 6500 - Manual (Page 222)

With a Zip drive and Zip disks, you can do the following:
m Extend your hard disk Zip disks give you increased storage and easy access
to information. They are good for storage-hungry image, sound, and video
files that otherwise would take up space on your hard disk.
m Move information Zip disks offer complete mobility and can be moved and
used wherever you have another Zip drive.
m Back up your hard disk Zip disks provide a convenient way to back up your
hard disk and archive important records.
m Secure sensitive files To keep sensitive or confidential information safe, you
can store it on a Zip disk and use the Tools application to assign a
password that must be used in order to read or write information on the
disk.
This appendix contains basic information about working with Zip disks in
the internal Zip drive. Additional information is also available online in the
Iomega folder on your hard disk or on the CD-ROM disc that came with your
computer.
