Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

If you want external zip100 SCSI, there are about 6 a
month on ebay.co.uk, sometimes with a decent stock of
media. The disks rarely go for more than \ufffd1 each now
that me and ganamor have stopped bidding against each
other to own the entire universe of zip. 
They're all over the UK and collection cuts costs
dramatically if you shop local.
My best deal ever was from a computer guy who must
have thought very little of the ext drive biz in
general and zip in particular. Only 100Mb, why bother
etc.

If you are unable to source, I still have loads.
However, the quest will strengthen your resolve Luke.

Doesn't your cousin Dave have any? <(:>{}
