    I have an old Compaq external zip drive that uses the PCMCIA slot. It's from a compaq laptop that used Win 3.1.

    I now have a new Dell laptop with Win XP Media Center.

    I tried to use the zip drive with the new dell. It did recognize it but it won't work because I have no driver. I tried using generic drivers on the Dell but no go.

    Where can I download a generic or Compaq driver for this old zip drive to work with my new Dell?

    Thank you

    If the drive is similar to Omega's zip drives, they have an XP update driver...
