Connecting OSX G4 to E-64 via SCSI

Postby Stacks » Wed Jun 04, 2003 5:07 pm

The sampler is recognised by the system as it appears in system profiler... however when I try to coonect via peak or recycle it says that no SMDI devices are present. The SCSI IDs appear to be correct on all device (6 for the sampler, 7 for the computer/scsi card). Both the mac and the SCSI card are brand new. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I don't even have a floppy drive so if this keeps up I'll end up sampling every individual drum hit into the sampler... please save me from the is hideous fate...someone :cry:

Have you got OS9 on your computer? Any other scsi things plugged in which do work? Termination set to -on- in your sampler? There's no way you're going to sample all those drum hits - an answer will be found!

Thanks for your reply. I have OS9 running as classic but i can't boot nto it. I am also running virtual PC with Recycle. Good idea about checking that the scsi works with something else. I've got a usb/scsi printer so i'll try plugging that in via scsi tonight (I'm at work during the day). Termination is set to 'on'.

I have emailed support at D Sound Pro for further info and their support guy reckons it might be a problem/bug in OS X 10.2.6.

What scsi card do you have? The only one i know that works with the mac is the adaptec 2906 mentioned in the manual. I went through the same thing with my new g4.

it could be your scsi card... i had to update the firmware on my orange-micro grappler card before OSX would even talk to it.
i would say... check the website of your scsi-card manufacturer and see if they put any updates online.

I still use OS9 though... fortunately i can still boot in OS9.
peak works great with the e5000 ultra, i'm transferring samples all the time!
