Thanks for posting

i installed one on my psr1000 . works great. all my midi's, styles , registrations on one usb stick. love it.

This was on Korgforums a while back:

$385, maybe a tech bench fee of @$100+ to install if you aren't tech savvy, and modern arrangers that sound SO much better than these older ones for around $700..?

I'm not so sure that trying to keep a terminal patient alive that long is worth the money...

at 385.00 , i agree, but i paid 50.00 for mine. it's not the same model. i got it on ebay after a floppy emulator search. i would not pay 385. i also found a video on you tube that showed how to install it.it took less than ten minutes. if you installed memory in your computer or a video card , you can do it. i would not recommend this to someone that has no experience in this stuff.

thanks for that link above - I was going to write about this anyway - they are okay, but remember the file size packets can still ONLY be 1.4mb and it still reads and writes at the same speed as a floppy drive.

One needs to create 100 "pseudo floppy disks" on it and then save data to each until each one is full.

They are fine for midi data - and will not run in anything above Windows XP.

Thing is, the G1000 had a SCSI Zip disk anyway... what was the need?

Maybe because the future availability of Zip disks is bleak? Does the USB perform any faster than the old drive ... or is that determined by the software limitations of the unit?
Hmmmm

How many zip disk does a person need? I am sitting on 50 of them now...more than anyone would ever need with a G1000

They can be found with no problem..

As for the Zip drives..I bought two as backups for my G1000..the original lasted almost ten years..and I replaced it...just fot the heck of it..since I had two new ones sitting here...They last if you take care of them...

So besides 50 plus zip disk and a new drive being stored...the G1000 did find another home...It couldn't keep up with the G70

Personally I would stay with the zip and floppy drives..on the G1000..

BTW: I still have a couple of the MegaFloppy drives..one used and one still new..and No...it is not worth replacing the floppy..The Zip is way better for the reasons mentioned...The MegaFloppy fools the keyboard in thinking it is a 1.44 disk..and you have to select the disk number...No where as easy for a search using the Zip.

I also have a few Zip 250 external (SCCI) drives..Two are still new..and two SCCI cards to use them with PC's .

Compact flash cards still work great with the G70..I have enough cards and pcmcia adapters to outlast my needs..

Now the USB drives for the new boards (BK5)..I have several 32g micro drives..

It isn't a problem stocking more than you need for any keyboard..I am still sitting on a couple thousand 1.44 floppys from my JV1000 and XP80 days
