Iomega Zip initially was SCSi for SCSI type connection , as also the JAZ (1GB)
but also with "serial" type port interface to connect to the printer port of the PC,
for facilitate who have PC Windows based computer, and that "serial" type connector port ,
the Zip drive was produced also with the IDE interface type ,
it became available to be installed in the front panel of the PC
(and Mac too ...)
subsequently when USB interface arrived and began to be present on the computers as standard equipment
Iomega produced the external model with USB connection ,
with also more memory avalable on the cartridges ,
100 mb apart as in oprigin ,
the new cartridges have 250 and 750 mb ,
for the Akai S2000 sampler (and other model of samplers with compatible interface)
apart a standard Scsi Hard Drive not removable ,
think also to the Magneto Optical type drive with removable cartridges (much more reliable than Zip...),
with Scsi interface ,
check what size (mb) of the cartridges are supported by the S2000 sampler ,
because the Magneto Optical cartridges can be found with also 240 , 640 mb , etc...
to format them appropriately (blocks size) for the S2000 ,
check the S2000 manual about .
