LOL!! i didn't pay attention... shiiet..

let me rephrase that....


my question is


can the regular 2000 run the 250 mb zip disk drives? or can is it only compatible with the 100 mb drives?? or does it not matter at all??

my 4gig scsi hard drive just died and i lost everything from the last 5 months!!!! and floppies are wayyyy to slow....

You lost everything for the last five months and you're still alive? I'd have killed myself...

As for losing stuff, you did it once so you can always do it again and most of the time it will be better cause you will have found newer sounds and possibly do things better when creating and compiling the beat.

Look at the good side. Another bad side is that you never learned the importance of backing up your work to several different media types. Now you know. I back up ALL my stuff to HD (PC and SCSI) and CDRW. Anything I lose can always be found again in less than 5 minutes. I keep an archive of sounds on CD in my closet (next to SWISSMASTER CHEESE cause I know he hides out in peoples closets going after their MPC's) also.
