firewire to SCSI or USB to SCSI?

Postby cracked_lcd » Tue May 18, 2004 2:07 am

anyone had any luck with either of them?

any suggestions?

OS X.3.3 does not see my emu; X.2.8 did and worked fine. i am sick of waiting on adaptec or apple to figure it out, and am looking for alternate avenues.

any help would be greeaaatttly appreciated.

Your waiting for the wrong ppl krackhead!!

In Mac OS X 10.3 Apple removed some SCSI API's and replaced them with a new API. Significantly, this means, the SCSI sample Xfer app's u have been using will no longer work since they will be still using the old deprecated API, hence no communication with the EMU. U need Bias Peak version 4.1 or later (4.1.1 now). This is the ONLY app that has been updated to use the new API. Yes it works, i have tried it on several machines with different cards one being an Adaptec 2930CU. Unfortunately its very SLOW. Example : I sent a 6 meg sample to the EMU using Peak 4.1.1 in 10.3.3, it took some 57 seconds to be sent to the EMU. The same file in Mac OS 9x with Peak 3.2 took 6 seconds. Clearly, Bias still need to do alot of work on it to increase performance.

Anywayz, if u spent 2 mins doing a search here u would have read about this issue 10+ times, instead of costing me 15 mins explaining all this to u. :rolleyes:
