Thanks everyone. Yes, I picked up an old VA76 (don't even think it was touched - absolutely beautiful and like new). I love the key bed and having a blast (I think it's my 5th one, as this product always has excited me).

Anyway, I have communicated with a couple zip sellers that swear theirs recognizes 10 perfectly.

Fran, thanks for everything. To my surprise, there was a zip in the zip slot already! What a deal.

Hopefully I can get one soon that works.

Can the VA76 be converted to a USB drive port of some kind?

Are you looking for a disk or the drive? I think there's a new disk at my local pawn shop, here in PA.

No, to my surprise, it had the zip disk in the zip drive! I am having so much fun exploring the many things this thing will do and it sound so terrific. Fun to have an extra board. I will take this live in a heartbeat. Underrated board, for sure.

Va7 and VA76 were the first Roland arrangers to use stereo samples..
