If you're on 4.1, the beast will only recognise E-mu format drives up to 4.7G or so. But if you're on 4.7 you can use FAT format & much larger drives, 80G etc.
True, your PC will recognise the FAT drive, but you'll need the chickensys translator to read EIV banks (i've heard there are problems with translators; missing samples, problems with modulation matrix etc. so be careful!).
I use 4.1, Zip, & Jaz, so I might be talking jibberish. There's a guy called Roonsmits on the forum; seems to be an SCSI shaman. Maybe He'll post if I've been talking garbage.
