I have to transfer files in 100 MB zip disks from my old G3 to a new computer via USB. Where is the best/safest place to buy a decent drive - it can be used, it just has to work, and I'd like to spend under $40. I just need it to make this transition. Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

Do these flash drives connect to a zip drive/computer/USB hub and do the work of transferring data over? If so, what do they connect to? I have zips but nothing to put them into. My understanding is that I need an external drive (internal drive is in logic-board impaired G3 tower that I will not be bringing home again to do the file transfer) and an IDE to USB cable to do the data transfer. Then I will burn CDs of these files and use the zips as coasters.
