DocThai Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 anyone still own one of those dinosaurs? I just had things shipped here that were in storage. I found a dozen zip disks containing some writing i did over the years when i was working on a book. Now I am curious to see what is on them! I know they are not available in Pantip.

Mekong Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I don't have one in my possesion but I could probably lay my hands on one within a couple of weeks. They used to be used a lot in Operator workstations in Control Rooms a few years ago and currently a lot of these are being refitted, I must have seen over 50 get binned this year alone, let me know if you wish me to grab one next time I see it getting trashed.

DocThai Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Please do! These disks either have my great American novel on them or some photos of trips to Thailand many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi! We are about to get rid of some old computers at my work and I know for sure that there is a Zip-drive there. No problem getting hold of it as I have been asked to get rid of it all but I won't be in Thailand for at least 2 months... Maybe you can get one from some other place faster but if not..just let me know and I'll bring it to you (at least to Bangkok).. SPIFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loner w/a boner Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I've desperately needed a zip drive. Saw one for copying purposes in Panthip over a year ago, but not anymore. Even to borrow one, or whatever, so I could copy the data off. I'm in BKK so, anyone PM me or msg me here, plzzzzzzzzz.

DocThai Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Looks like I have opened a can of (zip) worms. Ok now...so there are two of us in Bangkok in need of a zip drive to copy data. Surely someone out there has one they can spare for an hour... Not to mention...I am still looking for a VCR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Doc Thai - you still coming over this week for the VHS? I think I have a Zip drive too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Doc, Did you check out the shop(s) by the bus shop in Phra Khanong? I was in that area last week and I saw the shop with hundreds (?) of DVD, VCR(?) players. For the zip drive, try e-bay and then get a friend coming this way to carry it over for you?

DocThai Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I thought you just went out of town again, and when you come back I will be out of town for a few days. If I can;t find one to buy today (will go to Phrakanon) will you be home next Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
