Trouble with Zip Drive & S1000

2011-04-11 by Mike Schaffer

I just got up an Iomega 'Zip 100 plus' zip drive to save samples on, and when I hook it up to the sampler and try to reformat the zip disk I get the message "CAN'T WRITE TO READS-ONLY DEVICE". I've tried this with multiple disks, same issue.

Why would the device be read only? Did I get a bad zip drive or is the one not compatible with the S1000?
