Which do you use?

Zip drive or CF Card Reader. I'm getting an ASR10 and have been going back and forth between the two. I think I'm going to go with the card reader though because they can hold way more than those 100 and 250mb iomega zip drives. Whats your opinion?

Yeah I got my ASR10 but I also wanted a 2000xl to sequence everything with, but I'm only gonna have like $325 so I guess the xl's gotta wait.

CF without a question. Zip drives are fragile, finicky pos's. One minute they're fine and the next you better hope you made backups cause the drive munched your disk and **** itself(click of death, look it up). Yeah, so not so cheap when you factor in how many disks/drive might die on you in a short amount of time. :wink:

yep **** you click of death... when you think... wow 100 or 250 megs is way better then 1.5 megs on a floppy.... but when a floppy **** up you only loose one song rather then piles of songs and a sample library.
