Yeah I bought an inexpensive floppy drive that apparently works with the S1100 and I am going to try that. It seems like I will need it if I keep acquiring floppies. I just don't see any way around it. I know I am fine once I get the samples off of the floppies but since I only have laptop computers, I can not install an internal floppy on any of my computers.
So SCSI Zip drives are unreliable too? Ugh. If I did not have to read actual floppy disks occasionally (I will probably end up buying someone's mountain of floppies one day) then I would use one of those HxC floppy emulators.
Is there another SCSI device that is more reliable long term than the Zip disks? Some kind of SCSI Card reader setup?
Cheers,
