Seriously, it's about 10 to 15 times faster. And you don't have to use multiple discs to save beats.

Zips are better

The speed almost isn't an issue. Zips are so much better in every way, that who cares about the speed.
Floppies will take longer anyway because you'll have to keep changing disks since they only hold 1.4MB.
Zips hold 100MB. Simple math.

pretty much you can fit 70 3.5/ 1.44 mb floppies on one 100mB zip. My mpc is juiced with a 250zip and a jaz daisy chain! trust me its worth it. Imagine a 750 zip scsi! OMgosh!
less wear on the drive, less wear on the inserts and disc reader, less disks to have to stack-it will get messy if you do lots of chops and editing. Having to load 13 disks just to get 1 tune down, and if you make any chages you have to put them in 1 by 1 so the machine can update. I don't want to fight with the machine! I just want to bang on it!
I keep the boot disc in the 3.5 at all times-so when the machine comes up it ges started, and my current project sits in the zip drive. most efficent. If you lose 1 disc out of a group-hey you're in trouble. And better get used to buying them by the 100 pack-and that gets old quick.
