The most is accessing it with a PC with a Zip Drive. _________________________

I do it all the time. Pity that there's no Mac option. _________________________ The James Rocket: Because nobody's gonna hear it if it stays in a shoebox. www.thejamesrocket.com

It always tells me right up front that the drive is not a BR8 drive and refuses to go any deeper than that. How are you doing it and with which machine(s) VS files? _________________________ uptildawn

It only works with older CF cards (I understand they're formatted the same as Zipdiscs were.) You have to have a VS 840 file on the card ready to receive any tracks you want to import from the computer if you're going WAV -> VS; Going VS -> WAV is easier. I think, but I don't know for certain, that the BR8 reader plays nicely with zip disks. _________________________ The James Rocket: Because nobody's gonna hear it if it stays in a shoebox. www.thejamesrocket.com

Maps and Guitars Maps and Guitars Planeteer Registered: 10/28/04 Posts: 692 Loc: New York City	Probably not, since the BR8 basically wrote to VS840 files, with the same amount of tracks and v-tracks. _________________________ The James Rocket: Because nobody's gonna hear it if it stays in a shoebox. www.thejamesrocket.com

bert bert Planeteer Registered: 03/09/00 Posts: 1349 Loc: Parsippany, NJ	BR8 will work with a pc harddrive too. You have to save all the files of a song on the 840 disk to the C:\ drive and then use the BR8 pointing to the C:\ drive on your PC. I may be wrong. It's be years since I've been using the 840. I do recall the gx uses a different BR8 program and not sure it works the same way. _________________________ https://soundcloud.com/bert-painter/tracks Songs written by my good friend Dave who past on. vocals - Dave guitar - Dave and Bert Bass - Bert Produced and Recorded - Bert Drums - Programmed so far

I still grab a guitar once in awhile and bang on the drums a couple of times a month. Yeah...life could always be worse. Can you post a link to your forum, Jack? I don't have it anymore. Thanks. Later.
