Here's an example of a card reader, it replaces the floppy.

Installed hard drive. It's in the bottom left corner.

The flash rom would normally go in the bottom left corner were the HD is in the above image. But that's not really a good storage device for your beats, only 8megs.

seriously mann...cause im not tryin to have this shet happen to me again!!!!YOU KNOW>>>I CANT REALLY FUK WIT ZIPS>>> SO IM REALLY JUST TRYIN TO FIND A RELIABLE WAY TO SAVE MY BEATS!!HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DMONEY i definitely hear ya...man, if i gotta just work with the floppy i'll do just that...but cypher thanks for the info, i'm gonna look at it...thanks for makin' it simple...word...

i mean floppy are cool but they dont hold alot of memory compared to the zip..YOU FEEL ME...did u call IOMEGA TO TRY RECOVER UR SHET?

i know...but think about it...take one beat that you got...you probably can save your beat on one or at least two floppys at the most...after what happened to me i'd rather have 100 floppys that are more likely reliable than zips than have all my stuff on one zip, though it holds a lot, but have that same zip trip and all my stuff gone...hear me...i didn't call IM...did you click on that link that cypher posted...good info...i think i'm goin' to find somebody with a computer with a scsi port and rock the Lamp- procedure...word

Or, jus buy a cheap internal off ebay...Fit that to ur PC then ur good to go

BRAVO thats what im thinkin bout doin is easy to install a internal zip drive to pc?do u have one?what will i need to install a internal zip drive?DID UR SCSI WENT OUT ON U BEFORE?AND LOSE UR BEATS CAUSE OR C>O>D?HOLLA BACK

You can do the same thing with external zips. I have one hooked to the MPC and on to my computer. I save file back and forth to back up. Simple to hook the external to the computer, just plug it in the USB slot and download any drivers from the IOMEGA site.

good lookin'...thing is i don't have a computer...and my external scsi zip is a parallel...so i'm going to have to find someone that has a computer that has a scsi port...and try that...but man the way you're doin' is the efficient way...
