You will come to appreciate how much faster and more reliable MO is compared to ZIP disks.

Well, that might be. But I wouldn't rely on it since it seems like buying a new MO drive would have me paying out my *rse. Zip-drives are easier to come by =)

But yeah, of course I'll put it to use!

.. now I just have to figure out how to make my CD-drives work with this machine and then I'm only one Ethernet adapter away from making my old SE/30 take over as the new primary machine ;)

A "new to me" MO drive is only $30 from the link I posted earlier.  Incidentally, I just got my second one in.  Looks like a clean pull from a server environment.  I don't think they've ever been used.

I must be getting blind, I can't find that link. But at that price it's certainly worth getting a second one to connect internally in my retro pc =)
 

It's the machine I use to transfer files to my SE/30. I've got an internal ZIP in the PC and MacDrive Pro and I've got a SCSI ZIP on my Mac.

Hi CA,

 I have some SCSI 128MB, 230MB and 640MB drives as well as MO disks for them. I'll sell you a drive and some MO-discs, if you like. I can boot from them but they are finicky, for example, the MO-discs often need to be mounted if they are not the boot disk. I'm in Switzerland, though, and the postage will also probably be hefty. I haven't yet found an extension that works better than no extension.

Kind regards
