Go buy a fucking Kurzweil K2000, man! It fucking works! You've got SCSI on it, you can put the shit in it, your whole life can be there. Believe in this stuff.

I remember the days was SCSI was The Big Thing. I had (and still have) no idea what it was ....

[SCONES TO DIE FOR]

SCSI is/was just a way to connect your sampler or synth to your computer or storage devices like hard drives or zip drives.

 

I just remember it being popular because it was much faster than floppies and you could store way more data using it.

 

Other than that it was a colossal pain in the ass.
