Another Jaz Hell Story. I subscribe to the Roland VS-880 mailing list. This little tidbit just appeared on it. --- Subject: [vs880] Warning to all who are still using the dreaded Jaz drive.. Date: Mon, 13 Apr 1998 15:29:59 From: "Gunnlaugur L russon" <gunnlar@vortex.is> Reply-To: vs880@lists.virtualstudio.org To: "Roland VS Recorders Discussion List" <vs880@lists.virtualstudio.org> If there are any who are using the Jaz drive for anything other than backup purposes, I want to share my horrible experiences with you. Stop using it!! STOP IT. Don't even put a cartridge in your drive only to listen... It (the wonderful Jaz) has ruined all my carts (7 in all). The last two died today. 1 1/2 years of pain and suffering, all nonexistent except for a couple of cassettes and the hope of some sort of a recovery program for the PC... --- Is it any wonder that Roland officially dropped the Jaz drive as an option in the VS-880 digital audio recorder some time ago? Now all this poor soul has left of his musical recordings is a few one-off cassette tapes. All of his master data on Jaz is all gone! That sucks! Thanks Iomega!
