Stupid question perhaps...can an Iomega Zip 250 drive read zip100 disks?

To put it simply...

No.

zip 250's are backwards compatible to 100.Right? Friend of mine uses his in his new 250 drive.

Yes a zip 100 disk works fine in a zip 250 drive. It is a little slower writing to the disks because of the different heads.
Reading the disk seems just as quick.

edit-note that you can't use 250 disks in a 100 drive. And it's not a stupid question at all, I made darn sure myself before getting one. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif -edit
