Yes,

Just open them in Wavesurgeon/Recyle and send them to the sampler or download the SMDI 
file transfer utility from Ampfea A3000 website - its free, small and very simple and 
works well (only uses wav. (not aiff too like Wavesurgeon and Recycle)... 
One thing is that the PC will recognise the A3000 about 8 times as a peripheral the 
first time you have the whole lot connected. This is normal albeit a bit odd but not a 
problem and don't try to delete or uninstall them down to one - just leave it alone....

Someone must have a SCSI ZIp somewhere, go to PC repair shops etc....

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

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
