Does anyone know where I can buy a hard drive for my 10? I check out Ebay occassionally and haven't found much. Does anyone know of any certain models that are compatible?

If you mean external SCSI, you could just get a SCSI ZIP drive.
Make sure it's SCSI though, the back will have a drive ID selector and two MALE SCSI ports (the look-alike but useless parallel port version has a FEMALE and MALE DB-25 connnector).
I use ZIPs with all my machines; they're convenient for quick storage. I will be trying to get a Jaz connected to the EPS soon to archive...

Thanks for the reply.
I do use a zip at the moment, but I would like to switch to a hard drive instead. I have three zip drives right now; one went bad, the other is getting buggy, so that leaves me with one more. I found a guy who sells 2 gig hard drives that are new and are compatible for the ASR-10.
Most of the zip drives I have bought for cheap were from Ebay. Good deals, but I don't want to keep buying used zip drives forever.
I figured after I archive all of my zip disks to my hard drive, I will reuse the (reformatted) zip drives.
I do have a Jaz Drive (2gb) but I use that one for my ASR-X Pro. If you go with a Jaz drive, go with the 2 gig; not the 1gb. It isn't compatible. I posted a link on a similar topic. Check it out.

Sorry, I forgot that I'm not connecting a Jaz drive, but actually a 1.5GB Syjet. The SCSI connector is a newer type so I have to get my a$$ to buy an adapter.
Chickensys is the best source for ensoniq HD compatibility...

Cool thanks... I hope it works for the EPS classic.
I should be clear that I don't use a Zip for the EPS classic... as noted on ChickenSys, it doesn't recognize the Zip drive.
The ASR-10 has no problems with it though...
