Hi Roger!
Wonder if its possible to format a ZIp disk in a pc to make it work with the 808 without formating in the 808 first.
Cheers!

Hi Chris!
Thanks for sending me your question 🙂
The answer is unfortunately ‘no’. It’s not possible to format a Zip disk to make it work on the 808. When you insert the formatted disk the 808 will always mention that it isn’t an SP-808 formatted disk.
Somehow it’s a different structure based on FAT12.
The same is for the A-6 which has a more computer based structure but again the machines want to format everything which is not having their format.
Grtzzz,
Roger
