Generation, capacity and identificationClik!/PocketZip 40 MB miniature removable magnetic disk.
CompatibilityRequires a Clik!/PocketZip drive/device; Zip 100/250/750 drives do not accept it. PC Card and USB drive variants have distinct host needs.
Model/version caveatPocketZip is the later Clik! product-family name, not conventional Zip cartridge media.

Handling and preservation

Keep the medium in its protective case, away from dust, impact, moisture, heat and contamination. Preserve the label and write-protect state; avoid forcing it into a host. Make read-only images where practical and verify checksums before any reuse.

  • Retain provenance, packaging and label photographs; document any physical wear, write-protect state, read errors or repair.
  • For important data, make separate copies, record checksums and periodically test restoration. A single legacy medium is not a preservation plan.

Model and version notes

PocketZip is the later Clik! product-family name, not conventional Zip cartridge media.

Product-family resemblance or mechanical fit alone does not guarantee interchange. Verify exact medium generation, host model, interface, firmware and software support.
