Re: CFFA Card memory cards on sale at Sears

["brad" <mrbrad@ll.net>]

i found that best buy does not carry any zip disks anymore...100,250 or
750....

i found some at office max in town....but it was 29 bucks for a 3 pack

so it may be best to find these on ebay if possible..prob for less $$$....

the drive works fine i have was 9 bucks with shipping included with scsi
cable and power supply and it was the iomega 100 zip model...

it will be great for moving stuff from ramfast system to ramfast system for
my uses...but i'd recommend that you find a bulk supply on ebay for the 100
model zip disks anyway....because as far as retail stores it looks like they
might be going the way of the floppy

but like terry well worth the cost for a unit and hassle of getting disks...

(still want a usb card to work on a gs....just a simple little card i could
plug a usb card into...if one of you guys could just whip one of those out
..i'd appreciate it...of course i just want this so i can carry the entire
apple // software avail on the net in like a 2 gig usb pen....kinda like
magic to those of us who thought 10mb siders were the 'deal' back in the
day....)


(i have pitful aspirations..it seems)
