E6400 Ultra + PC SCSI problem

Postby RobPhoboS » Tue Oct 16, 2007 12:53 pm

Hi guys, hopefully someone knows what's up here.
PC with 1 SCSI card
Emu E6400 Ultra with 20Gb HD, 128Mb Ram
1 SCSI cable to connect both devices.

I've just installed an Adaptec 7850 SCSI card, installed the newest ASPI driver. Connected the Emu, had the 8x pop up window (mentioned emu as well in the bottom right of the screen) and I also installed phono's little detection tool, the Emu is shown as detected.
I load up either sound forge 4.5 or 9 but SCSI isn't detected within the 'sampler' tool.
These are the current settings on the EMU.

Emu is set as:
SCSI ID = 6
SCSI Termination = On
Avoid Host on ID = 7

But doesn't seem to appear in sound forge.
I presume this is now down to ID's ?

Sorry I have no answer for you on this one but I've actually found a similar issue with mu e6400 classic. I have an ESI-32 and an E4XT both of which show up in soundforge however the e6400 simply does not. I was thinking maybe it was due to the version of EOS but then the very same e6400 used to work perfectly on my old 486 with Win95 before it went the way of all flesh.

Cheers,

Hmm, interesting.
I've been chatting with phono for a large part of the day on msn, trying to resolve this issue.
Win XP is definately detecting the Emu, and phono's cool little tool apps are saying yes, its there.

I've since changed these settings on the EMU but to no avail.
SCSI ID = 0/1/2
SCSI Termination = On & off
Avoid Host on ID = 0

Both SoundForge and Recycle will not detect the damn sampler !

I even made sure that I was running the same version of ASPI as phono:
ASPI32.SYS 4.71.1
WOWPOST.EXE 4.6 (1021)
WINASPI.DLL 4.6 (1021)
WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.1

I'm really not sure what else to do.

:sad:

Im going to try another card.
I may try out one of the USB to midi cables to see how that goes.

Right just got a Microtech USB SCSI thingy.
Installed the driver for it, so I know its working (little green light on it as well). And now I know the location of the device (0), with the internal card I didn't have a clue what number was assigned to it.

So now I've got to try and get this working with the EMU!

The emu is set to 0 at the moment but when I set it to 1 the pc wouldn't start the bios, or load into windows. Subsiquently it crashed windows when I turned the emu on when it was loaded into XP (but doesn't when set to 0).

So you have a SCSI to USB cable which lets your PC communicate with the EMU?

where did you get it from?

At the moment im sending files via MIDI dump because i dont have any spare PCI slots

connecting the EMU via USB would be great :loveit:
