Copy my Zip disks

[jimihendrix]

I have many Zip 100 disks with music on them and am wondering if someone can copy them to standard format, i.e. WAV, MP3, etc for me. My machine stopped recognizing the ext zip drive years ago and now I have a bunch of music I can no longer access. Any help would be appreciated

Is your "machine" a Roland VS840?

Edit: My bad - this is the Fostex sub-forum - so you probably have one of the following?: FD-4, FD-8, and VF-16 ??

You need to buy or borrow a USB Zip Drive - then you can copy them yourself - a caution though - where were the disk stored? If there is any chance of mold or other dirt you won’t be able to read the disk - you‘ve got to go to a Data Recovery place.
