Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck using external SCSI card readers on E-mu samplers?

I have an E-Synth and would like to use good old CF cards to backup my internal SCSI hard disk... An adaptor like this would be what I'd like to use:

Has anyone else had any luck with these devices?

Cheers,

Mike.

I have a few different card readers that tested with my E6400 and E4XT. I was able to access CF cards up to 4GB. I attempted a low-level-format and my sampler locked up. So far all I have them to back up sample cds and sound roms.

I'm thinking about swapping out the floppy for a CF reader.

Do some research on the Spyrus/McDisk models. Some models do not support CF.

Hi dahknee,

Thanks for the update. I was also looking at a SCSI to IDE bridge, then using an IDE card-reader. I know someone on the Yahoo Emax group has done this successfully with an Emax HD, so I'm hoping it's also possible with the later E-mu boxes...

Cheers,

Mike.

I have those too. I wasn't able to get it to work. Also the IDE CF reader does not allow for CF hotswapping.

oky, first is that 4GB the max?
secondly, is that possible to change the floppy for a card reader? could you please tell me some urls, or just keywords i could try to search? (just tried without any success :( )

thanks in advance!
