Re: More help for Sound Designer Newbie.

Hey, congratulations!
Well, I didn't manage to get a scsi dc-rom drive running on my SE, but
my Zip-100 drive worked at once without any special adjusting or such.
So, everything I do is with that zip drive.
Its cool, although it takes a long time to format a zip disk :)
but it workes reallllly well. I made instrument-dedicated disks which
I swap when needed.
Cheers.
