Aint it better to get a Scsi cd-rom to the mpc for reading Sample-cd:s and computer wav??
Instead of internal zip-drive to the computer?

I myself use an external zip drive as well as the factory disk drive for compatability. I bought the internal zip for the MPC but realistically that would be sacraficing the option of swapping sounds with fellow beatmakers and computer set ups. also 250mb beats out 100mb.Even better with the external zip drive pending on your circle of affiliates and/or studios you really don't have to lug around your MPC all the time. Just pack up your zip drive and zip disks. The only challange you may encounter is finding a 50 pin scsi connector. Best advice computer stores and probably even then go for an adapter rather than the cord istelf.
