I have a VM16 1997 and installed a zip drive in mine 100megabyte. Extremely fast upload time, I can load a 20 meg file with it faster than a 1 meg file with floppy. Mine is centurion 6 also. I did it for $50. You can get good internal zips on ebay for around $5. Just stock up on them for replacements if needed. You can set this up in replacement of the floppy and loading programs is the same. You can configure the parts storage folder to your hardrive or the ramdrive, but for large programs you would want to dnc from the hard drive or you can dnc from the zip drive also. If you are having trouble dncing from the hard drive maybe the drive needs to be replaced. I was having trouble too and replaced it and everything is fine now. |
