emusonacid!

last night i got really sick of saving my tunes to zip. its getting pretty expensive ($40 cdn for 1 250mb)....so i smoked a fatty dug up an old scsii hard drive and scsii cdrom (ibm deskstar 9gig and yamaha scsii cdrw) openned up my computer to see that i had two power supply connections remaining. then i dug up an old scsii ribbon, connected the hd and cdrom to my power supply then chained thenm both to my scsii card (adaptec 2940). closed my comp up.....turned my sampler on......rebooted my comp....and to my surprise my sampler saw both the HD and the CDrom. so then i formatted the HD from the sampler, and bingo i now have a HD and a CDrom for my sampler without buying a hd installation kit for the emu and without buying an external box for the CDrom. i guess i got lucky that i didn't have to set any scsii settings any differnetly...... it's just an idea that might help some people out..Easy.

I'm assuming the deskstar is external??? That's cool. I love having my HD - coupla buttons clicks and your session's saved.

both the hard drive and the cdrom are in my computer and the HD is in emu format

That's a wicked find. I wish I had old SCSI devices just collecting dust ready to be used. It's nice to have a HD in the sampler too though just in case you plan on doing some gigs and don't want to cart your PC around. With the backup function it takes no time to move entire folders from one hard drive to another hard drive. I have to say I love that feature, but I also have to say I just recently discovered that feature after having my E-mu for years. Go figure.
