Hi list, I have a Kurzweil K2000R synth and a scsi zip 100 drive. I'd
like to be able to download files from the web and transfer to the
synth. I found a USB Zip 100 drive available which I'd like to connect
to my Linux PC so that I can transfer the disks across to the scsi
drive on the K2000.
The USB drive is here:

Does anyone know if this will work? Will I have any trouble with this
drive on Linux working with K2000 formatted disks?
Thanks,

Intending to gain access to some ancient Zip media from my Atari times (Two SCSI Zip
drives had stopped functioning), I bought a USB Zip drive on the local fleemarket a while
ago, along with a couple of PC formatted media (VFAT). While the drive "just
worked(TM)" with the bundled disks, it wasn't able to recognize Atari media, no
matter if partitioned with VFAT, ext2 or minix FS. I haven't been able to determine
why, I suspect it has to do with CPU Endianness. YMMV...
Apart from this caveat, I think the price is much too high, after all this is last
millenium technology ;) - IIRC I bought the USB drive for 5 €, 2 years ago !
Hope that helps,
Edgar

Thanks - i agree with you on the price, it tends to be the reality here
as used speciality goods are in limited supply and import duties are
huge. To give you an idea, here's another one going for R$450!
