okay, i have an idea now. tell me what do you guys think, will this work...

get a cd burner for my computer and a scsi card... from that point i am thinking of partioning my hard drive into two drives, one for the emu back up files, and one for the os. i would set a partion for about the size of a cd. i would then hook my zip drive to the computer and do a scsi transfer to the newly created x drive. then from x drive do an image burn over to cd rom. now, would i be able to access my newly created cd on my cd rom that is hooked up to my emu?

do you guys think this will work? or will i need another program in the end, like that chicken thing or whatever.

tell me what you guys think.

cheers

Get your burner and SCSI card, forget the partitioning etc. Get a 2nd hand 540M SCSI hard--drive and put it on the SCSI chain. Use the backup function of yor E--MU to send the contents of the drive to the SCSI drive in your PC and use whatever burning utility will let you image the drive...why make it hard? Nads.

Nads is right, i got a 500meg scsi drive for $2 plus shipping off ebay
keep it simple

okay, so get a burner, a scsi card, then get a scsi harddrive and hook that into my daisy chain on my emu, do a back up, then hook the scsi drive to my scsi card, the use the burner to burn the hard drive's image, then i will have a disc that i can put in my cdrom and be able to access like a emu sound library cd....

okay sounds good. i will look around. i really like glyph's stuff, might go for that, i know they are expense.. but i already have a cd rom from them and i love it.

thanks guys, i think i can get sorted now.

Your SCSI card will have an internal and extenal connection. The one at the rear goes to the sampler and stays connected unless backing to the zip. Everything else, SCSI burner (best idea), SCSI CD Rom, SCSI hard--Drive are all chained in the PC and have unique IDs. More than likely you will terminate the CD--ROM or the cable will have a terminator (not Arnie) on the PC end. This all stays put and you don't have to muck around with it. If all done OK, the sampler will see every drive on the chain. You are best off getting an internal drive for the sampler too as backing to zip means you have to disconnect the Sampler from the PC (turn everything off first of course or you will fry the whole lot) to do so. Having the internal drive means you can just backup to the 540 M (or under 650M) drive (SCSI) in your PC, image and burn. OF course the PC won't read the burnt CDs but your sampler will....This is the way I work and is the easiest solution...Hope this helps...Nads
