Great! Is that a usb 2.0 cable? You r getting 5 times faster transfer speeds in Win32 Imager then i get on my PC... And why didnt you write to the SD card directly when put into the Computer but did it via usb which is much slower? Thanx
Don’t you have to reserve one SCSI ID number for the sampler itself? Otherwise you would create a SCSI ID conflict. When I tried transferring my CD-ROMs onto compact flash cards, I found that the file names of the sample CDs do not follow the same 8.3 rule (FILENAME.SND) that Akai samplers use for storage drives. The CDs can have file names longer than 8 characters. So when you try to modify and save a patch, the sampler can no longer find the associated .SND or .WAV files because the names are truncated down to 8 characters. Can you save your patches into the CD-ROM partition to get around that, or is it read only? There used to be something called a SCSI bridge that would allow you to use IDE card readers. No need for ISOs, and no limit of card size. But they have been out of production for 18 years or so. Currently sells for $400 used. I have one in my MPC from back in the day tho. Thinking of moving it into my s5000 since I can still use a card reader in the XL, albeit with a 1gb limit. 1gb goes a long way on the XL. Fully expanded memory is only 32mb
by using the S3000Xl itself. First, format the disk (or disk image, no larger than 510 MB allowed), then partition it using the Akai's menu option; you can set the size of the partitions and the max. number of partitions.
@@ChristianWalloth go into format. Partition to 31mb. I would not partition to 32mb because it can go over. So partition to slightly less than 32mb so you get...oh wait that to partition a 100mb zipdrive into 3 volumes. But yea...
You’re making life harder for yourself!! 😅 Copy Akai ISO to sdcard change name of ISO to cd0 Put sdcard in Akai job done! You can have cd0,cd1,cd2,cd3,cd4,cd5,cd7 Skip #6 as that’s the device scsi id. 7 in total
Thanks for this. Greatly appreciated
just a legendary video, you are a champion
Hi. What program are you using for making the partitions in the sd card? Thanks!

Where did you buy the scsitosd drive? ❤
search for zuluscsi
I would like to partition my drives to match the 32mb sampler memory so I can load entire volume. How would you do that?

Ok so you did forgo the floppy emulator?
