128MB Magneto-Optical Rewritable
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.

Here's the link, but I didn't realize until just now that you're in Sweden.

They charge nearly $50 for shipping. :-/

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
