I think a card reader is making a lot of sense. I'm only trying to use  
the Zip drive because I already own it and it's not being used for  
anything else. Heck, I have a 2GB SCSI Jaz that's not being used for  
anything (where I can set the SCSI ID to anything), but that would  
really be wasting storage space. Is there room to mount both a card  
reader and a small floppy drive in the front of a keyboard Emax I?
Thanks,
Robert

set up like this that I use sometimes for my Emax II.  One day I might  
install the external SCSI port and use it like that, but I think I  
would prefer a card reader for less noise.
