Re: External 3.5" HDD Enclosure USB 3.0
I had the blueish-gray external model, for portability. I think the disks were only 100MB, IIRC. I did have an internal drive that looked like that for my PC. I might still have the external unit somewhere. I have dropped off so much old electronics to Best Buy I can't remember.

I like the monitor, my amiga 14" ones look about as good as that :) I lie they went many years ago along with my A2000 and a g-lock.... there is something to retro google :D
My point was i am a pack rat!!, and now i am trying to purge shit in my basement:). And things are getting bigger because you need the space to keep up with the growth or technology no?? going from a 27" console tv that had a remote antenna that got 10 channels, it has come a long way from that, and thinking a good quality sound and picture quality movie fit on a 700mb disk, was like WoW!! right buddy:). Now you expand the TV to 60" and try to view the same quality?? I think you have to be back about a 100 feet and squint to see a clear picture:lol:
But OH!!! the good ol days;)

DivX was used before XviD, but I believe you are referring to VCD (.vcd and sometimes .bin and .cue). VCDs for movies were very popular. Many movies came in two 700MB files. I still have a couple of old DVD players ( 5 disc carousel) that will play VCD and DivX/XviD.
I still have a couple Plextor CD and DVD burners that can copy protected CDs/DVDs (along with BlindWrite or similar app).
I never used Zip disks for storage. Mainly to transfer files from school computer to home computer and vise versa.
School!!!!?? I assume you are talking you became a Teacher latter in life?? The only thing i remember from school is those fill in punch cards:huh:, The only thing with zip in it was my coat, Velcro was not around yet:lol:
Just Kidding......
Got rid of my Plextor long time back (IDE), was not on the list for burning Xbox 360 games, and thanks buddy for the memory of VCD, i had a 5 disc player as well but no go in the VCD's, you always had to look around for the cheap players to work or if i remember the better Pioneers also worked?? I had Onkyo and Denon players but no go either. And i just purged those as well, and how about at least 40 Direct TV and Dish Network receivers (Dish and Bell worked for both), and at least 20 activation cards!, and a ton of boards!!..
Oh the good ol days with having wide open channels:D......
Had a few of these lined up on a table as well;)

College classes. I had a Sony 5-disc spinner that played VCDs. I think it was a Panasonic after that. Then I went to Oppo.
My Plextor is SCSI. Came with its own controller card (probably ISA card). Might be why it could copy anything with proper software. I was copying PC games that used SecuROM for myself and PSX games for my brother. After a while copying became impossible, so resorted to CD cracks. Then when I only downloaded games, the cracks were included.
I never got into satellite TV. I had a few "black boxes" over the years.
