I'm playing with SecureDrive; the problem is not with using it with a Zip disk so much as it is trying to get it to play nice with Windows 95.

Iomega hasn't been willing to tell me how the password is stored, so this looks like a big boiling pot of snake oil. Anyone out there played with Zip drive/disk internals and know how it works?

Dave, I came across a 'cracker' program that claims to be able to hack the SecureDrive encryption system. Off the top of my head, I think it was called ZipCracker, or something similar in name to one of the PKZip encryption cracking programs. I found it on one of the hacker websites, and there was a text file regarding SecureDrive which went into some detail re: both the hardware and software aspects of the Zip drives and the encryption itself.
