Frequently Asked Questions of the ETD Initiative
   
  1. My dissertation takes 20 disks! Carrying all those disks around is inconvenient.
  Both the New Media Center and the Architecture Annex have ZIP drives. 100meg ZIP disks are about $10 each. Its like having 100 floppies in one!
   
  2. How do we use ZIP disks?
  Simply purchase a ZIP disk and use it like a floppy. There will be instructions in the labs that have ZIP drives on how to use them (Architecture Annex, New Media Center).
   
  3. How do we use a Jaz cartridge?
  A Jaz cartridge (trademark of Iomega http://www.iomega.com/ ) is most like a removable hard drive. Jaz cartridges hold 1 gigabyte each. Unfortunately, they cost about $100 each.
