It'll certainly be cheaper to get a card reader than a new sampler @Mutis Mayfield,plus it'll transform the 808 into one hell of a machine in the SP series that can do so much more that way without having to rely on the Zip Drive.
But there's no crazy rush to install at the moment as alongside the 808 I have an Akai S900 & 950, MPC 2000, SP 303,SP 404,SP 404 SX and an Ensoniq EPS sampling synth at my disposal right now,Alec's and myself have combined all our equipment into one studio set up,plus there's also a Mac that's running Ableton.
It's definitely something I'll do at some point in the future though for sure.
