Ideal to complement a Roland VA-7, VA-76 or G1000!


Hi All

Just thought I'd let any interested Roland VA7, VA76 and G1000 owners know that I have just listed an internal PC IDE zip drive and some zip disks on Ebay.

The drive is easy to install in a free 3.5" bay and needs no drivers under Windows XP. Earlier versions of Windows may need a driver installing, but Iomega's web site has excellent support for the unit with drivers and other useful software downloads available for free.

Note that although the drive is a 250Mb version, it will happily read and write to the 100Mb disks that Roland keyboards use. Indeed - this was my sole reason for buying it in the first place. However, now that I have sold my VA76, I no longer have a need for zip drive facilities on my PC.

Mike you are not misleading anyone, but maybe make aware to potential buyers.....that drive will not work in any of the Roland instruments..[If anyone is thinking of installing the drive in the Roland keyboard]..

The drive used in the computer can prepare a Roland format zip disk via RDBM software..

Hi Fran

Thanks for that - two good points. In case it wasn't clear - drive is specifically intended for use in your desktop PC - NOT as a replacement for a dead Roland zip drive!
