Michael,
I'm pretty sure that there is a ZIP drive made for the 770's Ultrabay.
That being said, I'd also suggest turning to another type of media
unless you already have a lot of ZIP disks. They are only 100MB or
250MB. I'd suggest getting a CD-RW for the Ultrabay. CD-RW media is
pretty cheap and is reusable. CD-R media is very cheap and can be used
in (virtually) any other PC.
