Yeah, I converted my Sp808 to an EX model, very easy to do, and much 
better than the pink iMac case IMO.  I believe our own drK was the first 
person to discover the regular models could also use the 250MB Zip Drives 
in fact.  The manual was definitely not the greatest, that's for sure!

on the upside, the SP-808 can easily be upgraded to the EX version, 
incl new effects. There is also a .wav conversion program for those 
with a Zip in there computer. <(I've done those) Many users have been 
putting in 750MB Zip drives lately. <(havent done that yet)

on the downside, its a Roland product, so there is NO official 
support for it. The manuals are hard to come by, and I hear they were 
beastly at best anyway. There is a video manual for the original 808 
that is readily available and is pretty good.
You can find 808s and 808EXs for about $500.
