we’re in the middle of a major union dispute and the management is saying they can’t give us raises. but they also won’t bring anything to the negotiating table

i love having an excuse to use a 3.5 diskette. we have an older scope and spectrum analyzer at work that use them, and its super satisfying to copy screen captures from the disk. a couple-dozen-kB image file takes the perfect amount of time to copy off, and makes all the right sounds doing it. excellent knobfeel.

i just recently bought a zip250 at the flea market. it is usb, which is useful for me cause all my other zip drives are scsi/ide/firewire and not super convenient for transferring stuff to modern systems

but now i have one!

ive been hoping to find a zip drive at a flea market or thrift store


no luck so far, but did get an LS-120 superdisk usb drive







luckily including the usb cable, because the ide to usb converter is built into the loving usb cable

I could really use a/multiple SCSI or Firewire ones if you wanna sell those off. They're wonderful for transferring data with old systems and I'm a dork that's into that.

why do you think i have them???

actually i guess my prev post was unnecessarily dismissive. :justpost:

still, next time i dig into that particular stash i can see if i have a spare scsi one, if you are hard up for one. i think i had an extra, but i dont remember if i kept it, or just the one

i have no scsi ones, my last broke ;-;

one parallel one, a few internals (all PATA, could use a SCSI internal) and a modular one in my powerbook g3.
