emusonacid!

Thanks Om!

Success. I spliced together an old floppy cable to a hard drive molex and hooked it up to the motherboard power and the drive works!

It's cool having a hard disk in the ultra - no more zip disks!

Cheers.

Do you have any pics to show how you installed the cables????

Which cables are you guys using to connect to the powersupply off the mainboard, I had the EMU powercable connected to the 3.5 hardrive.
Does the 3.5 to 2.5 adaptor work with the EMU powercable????

Just thought I would add that Western Digital lists the power consumption and noise levels of all their drives on their site. 21 dba max noise for their 2.5" drives with 500ma 2.5watt max power consumption looks like the way to go for me.

If you are in Canada or North America the 2.5" to 3.5" adapters can be found at NCIX.com

HI, is it possible to copy sounds from one internal drive on one e ultra unit to another? Does anyone know if this is possible? I want to back up my sounds so that I will always know that I have them .I also have a 20gb laptop drive sitting around and I wouldn't mind copying the sounds to this drive. What would I need?

please someone help.
thanks

please help if you have any idea how to copy sounds.thanks

I have purchased a 2.5 Hitachi HTS541680J9AT00 Hardrive http://www.dcsplc.co.uk/product/59324

And the 2.5 -3.5 convertor
http://cgi.ebay.com/LAPTOP-HARD-DRIVE-A ... dZViewItem
This adapter has a male molex with two pins.

The disk does not power up direct from the motherboard when connected using the 2.5/3.5 adapter straight to the HD.

I bought a 5.25 to 3.5 PC Power connector which has the male 4 pin molex
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... or&doy=2m4

I connect the power connecter cable to a standard female to male molex cable as shown on http://www.peterandrew.com/music/studio ... stall.html
the remaining male Molex cannot obviously be connected to the male molex on the 3.5/2.5 converter.

Can anyone help, I?m confused, do I have to change the remaining molex to female to the IDE convertor? If any one has the time to take pics of their working method that would be a serious help. Cheers guys.

I suggest wire cutters, soldering iron, solder and electrical tape. make sure you reverse the polarity of the power cable as discussed on this forum.

I made my HD power cables out of dead PC power supply leads a local computer store gave to me, works great. Make sure you solder properly with tining, and good temperature.

-use this advise at your own risk-

Have you tried moving the data to an external SCSI drive with the backup function?

Afterwards you could move the data back to your new drive from the external.

Are these it? will any of these work?

Anyone know if this mod works for the E4K?

I think the first four digits of the serial number are the month and year it was produced

If it has an internal IDE port then it should, otherwise you would need an Acard SCSI to IDE adaptor in front of it, to use it on the SCSI bus instead.

Hi everyone.

Yesterday I became the happy owner of a 5000Ultra. My first ever real hardware sampler. I have used a SB-Live with a seperate D/A converter, but not the same, I can see already! There was no HD and only 4MB Sample Ram, although the EOS 4.01 also reported 8MB CPU? I thought 4MB was most, but hey, I won't complain. Well, On the net it was pretty easy to find info and manuals (although manuals were incl.) so I Downloaded Everything from the EMU-site, EOS'es, Flashprep (especially after reading that that was needed for the system on my E-Mu), All PDFs etc. It's good to know what we have got hands on

After installing Flashprep and then EOS 4.7, which all went by like a breeze - I must say it It rocks. I happened to have a 3.5" 40 GB Maxtor on shelf, so in it went, and an old 40pin cable were the long end got cut off, so the result was a short singleport IDE cable with a connector at each end. (An old non functional PC-PSU comes in handy since there is exactly a cable with both floppy (that's what goes to the HD power in the E-MU) and HD power connectors.

OK, I was frustrated that it at first didn't spin up at all. Ah!, Red wire is pin 1, there it was. So I had to gently cut off the plastic-thing on the powerconnector in the E-MU and refit the floppy-power 180. !

40 GB :) I was happy.. But hey! - I also had a 3.5" 120 GB Maxtor Diamondmax 9 Plus, so what else than try
The drive label says 5V - 670mA and 12V - 970mA(!).
And If one thinks about it, it IS a IDE bus (ATA-3 and up) so the powerrequirements should be fulfilled also.

The Maxtor 120 was actually a fair deal more silent than the 40GB one, so that drive or similar and all You hear is the E-MU's PSU - So my next mission will be to maybe run the PSU fan at 7V instead of 12, or somwhow make way for a 60mm silent one. I'll be back with more later, I think

All this was not to bash the 2.5" method at all, btw. I love that solution! I just don't have one at hand right now.

I hope all this wasn't too much for You all, but I'm going to play now, so:

Nice day all,
Claus, DK.

Yesterday I opened the box, unscrew the fan (little noisy m.....f.....). Then I made 4 small squares from some foam (the ones You use in a tent to sleep on), glued them on each corner of the fan and on to the back inside the machine - Ahhhhhh :)) THAT was a relief. Now I can actually hear the HD spin up and such.

Is it possible to post pics here? :)
