From the creators of SCSI2SD and ZuluSCSI, looks like there 'may' finally be and alternative to the ZIP in the SP-808:
JUST RELEASED...
https://www.zuluide.comhttps://github.com/rabbitholecomputing/ZuluIDE-firmwareZuluIDE™ is a IDE computer storage emulation platform, where CD-ROM drive images are stored on a standard FAT32 or exFAT-formatted SD card. SDXC cards of up to 512GB are supported.
Features
Emulates IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives of any size.
Emulates ZIP100 ATAPI removable media.Open-source firmware, licensed under the GPLv3
I have two of these, sent by the creator Alex Perez after he used my published data from this little project. I can confirm that they do work with the SP808, but, the workflow is a little bit janky when you want to change disks. No more than ZuluScsi or Bluepill Scisi or even the Russian emulator from Sintechi, so i continue to take a look when i have spare time (not very often), with the hopes of patching the SP808 so it will use a non zip drive.
Hi Hsiboy. Thank you for all the work you have done thuse far.
FYI, I have been using the ZuluIDE with my SP-808 EX since I posted last summer. I created a 512MB image that contains original ZIP250 DEMO banks. The image is a replica of a 512MB MCD CF card (16 bit FAT) so the image (SD card) can be swapped between my Windows 10 x64 box (where I mount SD and use SP Convert v2.2 to add or extract samples) as well as the SP-808/ZuluIDE without issue. Unlike some of the images floating around the internet, neither Windows nor SP will not treat it like an unformatted disk when moving between devices, will not work with SP Convert, properly respect 'eject', and so on. I just shared it at Roger the MIDI Maniacs channel but here is link for anyone that wants to use it.
