The problem occurs when i switch on the akai with the zip drive connected, akai says "waiting for hard disk ready..." and freezes, but if i boot from floppy, akai also freezes if i try to access the zip from the save pages.I have checked akai and zip manuals but to no avail so any help or advice would be well recieved. Cheers, Olivaffair.

It is old and therefore v cheap on the second hand market. Also, there is a piece of software called Interpreter which allows Mac's to read AKAI files.
