Hi I have been gone for a while during changing over jobs, but since i had this problem as while ago, i couldn't just keep lurking in the shadows...
Damn, its SCSI time again.... I know the setup below works and its 99.5% stable....cos i use it daily - but I don't know about mixing it all with USB too...I know newer samplers use USB, but the A3000V2 may not be so forgiving and theres not a whole heap to gain by experimenting with USB considering one USB SCSI adapter is the same price as my 2 SCSI cables and a workhorse SCSI card...If you haven't already bought a USB ZIP then I would get a SCSI one... PC SCSI card (50pin card - only about �20 try Adaptec) to ZIP SCSI 250MB - (25pin) then another SCSI lead from the ZIP 25pin port to 50 pin SCSI port on A3000V2. Use Belkin cables, good stuff Allows good clean transfers from my PC to sampler (eject the ZIP disk when transfering using SMDI or in Wavesurgeon/Recycle otherwise it locks up the chain). But make sure the sampler and zip are turned on and running before powering up the PC so it detects the chain ok and you don't have to do refreshes in Device Manager etc... NEVER try to access a ZIP disk formatted for the SAMPLER using Windows Explorer (even tho it lists the drive as accessible) as it will most likely corrupt your samples stored on the ZIP disk. Use another one formatted for PC if you need to backup your PC and vice versa for the sampler - they are not compatible... Hope this all helps, Laters Dan PS - he, he i just read you praise for USB...good luck with SCSI > would this work for > > A3000 scsi out - adapter - USB zip/pc etc. > > Thanks, was getting desperate for some storage solutions ! I'm guessing not. The A3000/4000/5000 can be a bit faddy about SCSI, especially concerning what devices they will communicate with. Of course, I may be totally wrong, but i would make sure first before forking out --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
