Hello all Does any of you knows what is a "Quick Disk" or something that sounds like that ? This is for a friend that asked me (by phone), to buy him that 'quick disk' he also mentioned the numbers 2 8" (inches?). I have no idea what is that and where to find it. Of course this had to do with musical instruments and/or a musical group he belongs to. Now, I am far from the country, so I can't call him again to ask him again about what he wants. Somebody mentioned to me thatmaybe he wants a 'QD drum'. Is that possible? If so, what is that again? where to buy it? what about the 2 8" ? Sorry, but I am tottaly ingnorant about electronic music instruments and stuff but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Oh, one last thing, please respond to the newsgroup comp.music Thanks again. Phillip. febb@rm105serve.sas.upenn.edu

I believe that what you are referring to is a smaller version of the
standard 3.5 inch floppy disk. I recall that some musical instruments
and/or sequencers used these. As to where you might buy them, who knows!?!?
You could always go to the manufacturer of the instrument. I seem to recall
that Roland corp. used these type of disks for a while.

Thanks in advance. Quick Disks are a floppy disk format. The disk double sided and is 2.8". They were used in some samplers and typewriters. They cost about $30.00 for a box of ten. My Akai S612 sampler uses them. I buy mine from a place called SoundSations!, you can order the disks by phone. The toll free number is (800)422-0575 or (313)885-1539. > >Oh, one last thing, please respond to the newsgroup comp.music > >Thanks again. > >Phillip. >febb@rm105serve.sas.upenn.edu Good luck. BTW - The only connection I have with SoundSations! is that I'm a satisfied customer. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
