This is my first post. here, so forgive the lack of familiarity.
I bought an E4Xturbo (non Ultra) with 128 mg RAM 2 years ago.
I'm just getting around 9second atte,pt) to get it running & and integrated into the home setup I'm putting together.
As part of this, I bought I group of original unopened EMU CD's.
I'd bought a Yamaha SCSI CD reader to load the cards.
My computer is a Mac (no PC's in the house).
I am running EOS 3.20b
With each disk, when I attempt to load the first bank. the progress bar stars & gets to 5% then abruptly stops, & I'm looking at the main screen, as if I just turned the unit on.
If I choose the second or ANY other bank, the progress bar moves along to 100% , the bank load and can be accessed.

Since the CD Rom, a Yamaha an older SCSI unit with centronics connectors was bought separately, I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the CD Rom unit.
My question is what CD Rom brands will work with an EMU e4XT non ultra (if I need a new one)?
Will any SCSI CD ROM drive work or does it have to be one or two particular brands? I see external LaCie's , Plextors, yamahas, & Apple branded units on ebay.
In the past I found that "PC SCSI compatible" and "Mac SCSI compatible" are NOT the same, when working with the Mac.
What type of system is the EMU EOS similar to? Or will ANY SCSI CD Rom Drive work?
Also, does anyone have an idea of what might be going wrong in the first place, if it isn't the CD drive?
I'd like to upgrade the EOS, but first I have to figure out if the E4XT is worth the hassle, people keep saying "just get an ultra, they have a differnet motherboard & use ide drives, so no scsi issues.
help?
