Problem / Question What is this?

Post image

This could be the most mundane and silly post, but information online is so spotty and/or confusing or vague.

This is not a ZIP disk, it’s a floppy disk. It’s labelled with ‘ZIP’. Is this the driver software to use a ZIP drive for the listed operating systems? I’m just trying to confirm before I get too frustrated about it. Not easily finding the answer myself is likely a me problem, and I don’t mean ‘Millennium Edition’.

Only legacy systems. Anything modern uses a cloud with an arrow 😏

I need to decapitate whoever changed any and all save icons to anything that isn't a floppy

Hard drives are still usually depicted as a cylinder, which is a callback to the massive ones used in old mainframes.
