It is extremely easy to use. Just plug it in to an outlet, plug in the usb cable into the computer port, turn it on and it will show up as an external drive on “my computer.” Of course you will need the memory discs to plug into the drive.

I have many zip disks to recover data from. these descriptions are not direct and confusing. is there a usb cable that will go to an apple computer?

I purchased a zip drive, complete with cables, from Amazon. I hooked it up to my work Mac OS X, Version 10.8.5, and it was incompatible.So I took everything home and hooked up to my old, 2003, iMac. It worked! I was able to retrieve data from the zips. The files must be dragged to the desktop and opened within the application file. I was able to open most PageMaker and Quark files with Indesign CC3.

I'm buying this for someone else...does it come with everything he'll need to plug in and run it?

My recollection is that it comes ready to plug and play. I purchased mine to convert a few tens of zip disks to CD-ROM disks to exchange with family members.

external 100 zip drive with plpconnection, is there a cable to use the drive with a cable, plp to usb?

Not sure what a plp is. The Zip Drive does come with a cable that connects it to a USB port on the computer. Hope this helps !
