"Is there any way to play or transfer songs recorded on my Boss BR8 (100meg zip) disks on any other machine or computer." Roland / Boss BR8 : Backing up files to a computer (Mac and/or PC)

For PC, put it in the ZIP drive on the PC and copy it to the hard
drive.
For Mac*, you will need Dos Mounter 95 and MultiMounter
extensions. Disable any other kind of CD/Hard Drive/Zip/Jaz etc... Driver except Dos Mounter 95 and MultiMounter. ( If you accidentally leave one on, the Mac will not recognize the Zip from the BR-8 ). Pop the BR-8 cartridge into the Zip drive on the Mac and drag the image to the hard drive.
After you do this, on the PC or the Mac, you can then use a CD burner program to burn a CD of the disk images ( not an audio CD, but a backup CD). If the customer actually wants to get audio from the BR-8 that is playable by the computer the only way to do that is to upgrade to a VS-840GX and convert the disk to a .wav disk.

* Known to work on Mac's w/SCSI - effectiveness w/USB or Firewire ZIP drives is not known.
