hi guys

i im new here and would like to say hello to all
and to say what a great board u got here :slayer:
im a dnb lover well most things electronic hehe
and has been a great help on setting up me 6400 ultra rfx 20g hd with 128mb
big thanks to all posts that helped me there is many :grin:

back to the q can any 1 recomend any scsi cdrom
i got the h/d on ide
but want to use me emu cds direct with cdrom
to fill hd with emu presets ect
or is there a way to extract emu cds and presets
i tryed chicken traslotor + cd extact
but the probs i had was they could see the emu cds.
and i can convert but how do u get the emu presets
i did eventualy covert emu to ex2 with cdextract then then ex2 to emu with chicken translotor then filled my hd on the pc then filled then added hd back in sampler
there must be a easyer way ? :???:
iv got the sampler hooked up threw scsi and recycle works ok for single sample but is there a way to bulk transfer.
i tryed smdixfer but never worked
do u need scsi hd to see emu in chicken translator.
i seen but was only memory i think not shure ?
any advice is very welcome
and hope to help once i get in deep in about this thing { EMU ROXXX!!!!)

and a big thanks again :pimp:

hi, welcome to the board, glad it's been helpful.

this yamaha cd writer would work fine...

i actually use a yamaha 426 which is so old it's not even on ebay :) works fine. wouldn't spend more than ?30 on one to be honest...

You could have a crack at pretty much any CD ROM. I've had two and both were fine as readers. Just get the ID right (don't share with any other device) and leave it unterminated.

The cd burner on my pc is SCSI. I discovered by accident that when you plug the SCSI lead from the emu to the pc the emu can share the cd drive to read emu cd's! can't burn from the emu unfortunatley :(
