250 MB Zip Drives work in the BR8?!?

[PeteAnon]

Hey all.... This is big big news if it's true. I have not tried it. Check out the BR8 forum over on Yahoo eGroups:

WOW!

If true it'd be a great news to us BR-8 users!

Let me try it!

something smells fishy.....

I don't know..... I have a hard time believing this....

I noticed the person who wrote the post hasn't responded to any questions for a week.....

Check our this site for the 250MB upgrade http://www.olywa.net/blame/mwn/br8.htm. I haven't tried it but I think I will.

Hmmmmmmm...

Hey Fender72..... the link did not work for me..

I'm definitely interested. I've somehow managed to keep happy with the 100Mb disk but I would definitely go for the upgrade if it was doable.

Sorry, here it is http://www.olywa.net/blame/mwn/br8.htm

That last period messed up the link (reminds me of my wife )

 

[Rudd]

Damn.....

Iomega is out of stock on the 250...

will definitely try later

Thanks!

Try www.tigerdirect.com

This just sounds too good to be true...however the consequences of messing it up are pretty great. Anyone here actually tried it? If so, let us know!

If you go to the above link and check the link for 250MB upgrade, you'll see an illustrated step by step directions. You'll see that the window shows 2hrs/5min of recording, again each track will take 1/8 of 125min or about a 15min recording using all 8 tracks at the lowest compression.

How much does the 250 drive cost. I have $300 worth of 100mb iomega discs.

Oh, is iomega the only brand you can us. $10 a song is killing me.


Peace, cj

You can get a 250MB ZIP anywhere from $80 - $120, and you can still the 100MB ZIP disks.
