Just plain old electric panel knock-out plugs.
It's been so many years ago that I might be wrong . I think the knock out plugs on electrical boxes use to work as quarters in some vending machines.
i had to go and look... My Zipdrives are IDE.. i actually had three of them.. i thought is was two
I didn't read your post until after I posted. Thank you for reassuring me that I'm not losing my memory yet.
It worked on swedish payphones to get free calls.. it was two hacks.. on one model the shorting hack.. on the other one you had a dial up tone generator.. or you tap the phone hangup switch fast.. 0 was 1 tap.. 1 was 2tapps.. 3=4 and so on.. 9 was 10tapsCan't tell you how many times as a kid I tried shorting a payphone to a get free call lol. It never worked

Fun times back in the days
I also had three of them. They were all Iomega zip drives. the first one was in a computer I gave to a family member. The second one was the external drive I dropped and the third one is the internal drive I still have. It's still in the 5 1/4" adapter mount.i had to go and look...

Nostalgia on high level.
My internal zip drive may have been IDE. The next time I'm in the storage closet I'll check to see what it is. I do remember how it was so nice to have more drive space as compared to a 3 1/2" floppy drive.i had to go and look... My Zipdrives are IDE.. i actually had three of them.. i thought is was two

my uncle worked for the swedish phone company back then.. he told me when i was around 8-10years old.. then he also told me how to fool the old analog switchboard to register outgoing calls as incoming calls.. so you didn't get to high phone bill.. but to not create suspicion at the phone company.. you only did that on every 4 or 5 call so you still had a normal bill so they didn't start to inspect the records.. sadly they switched to the newer switches half a year later with tone dial and then it didn't work anymore
Sadly the days of calling a store and asking them if they had Prince Albert in a can or calling a random number and asking them if their refrigerator was running is long in the past. The good old days.Nostalgia on high level.
Yeah it was nice..
my Iomega is a 250MB drive.. the other one is a 2.2GB drive
classic prank calls.... i never ever did that.Sadly the days of calling a store and asking them if they had Prince Albert in a can or calling a random number and asking them if their refrigerator was running is long in the past. The good old days.
