I don't know anything about larger Zip drives but Syquest makes the
EZFlyer 230MB which is compatible with the EZFlyer 135. I got one for
Christmas and love it. I _believe_ it's a bit faster than the Zip.
The EZFlyer data sheet is at http://www.syquest.com/products/d_ezflyer.html
in case anybody is interested.
