Hi,
i'm new on remarkable mpc-forum.
i'm here to find solution to my problem.

i'm tired with floppy disks. i need better solution to store beats in my 60.

i would prefer SCSI over floppy drive emulator. i'm ok with zip drives.

i prefer SCSI because i have tons of floppy disks that i want to backup in zip disks.

does the 60 with scsi recognize zip 250mb?

i would like to buy a ram card , compression option (half size memory) in 3.10 software color the sound in the wrong way (to my ear). i find the sound is more defined before compression. i do it when i'm forced to do it to minimize memory use but prefer to stay away from this compression option.

is there someone who want to sale marion systems scsi & ram

zip disks are garbage... you wont be backing up anything with those for long... floppy disks are more reliable than those haha... and if a floppy disk fails then you only lost 1 beat... not 70 beats.

floppy emulator like the hxc is the way to go..


good luck though... check ebay.

Yes, so long as the zip drive/disc works.

You can find the MPC60 options on ebay, but you gotta be prepared to search worldwide. Good old SCSI still provides the fastest load/ save times for the MPC60. Check out our 'Hardware For Sale' forum, and in future post your needs in the 'Gear Wanted' forum otherwise your thread may be deleted/ moved without notice.
