I have a Yamaha A3000 sampler which uses a 50-pin connector. I'd like to use a 25-pin zip drive with it for backup so I would need to buy a 50-pin male to 25-pin female SCSI adapter for it. Anyone know if adapters work with samplers like this?

Typically, yes. Make sure you terminate the SCSI bus correctly.

OK, well that's good to hear. I have some Roland VS recorders and I'd heard those didn't accept adapters so I wasn't sure if it was the same with a SCSI sampler. Cool

I think with the Rolands it's the usual Roland screwed up implementation of SCSI and lack of support for most SCSI devices except those they could charge an arm and a leg for. Some of the Rolands worked pretty well with 3rd party stuff, some didn't. The S-50 was a good one, but some of the others were not so helpful.

My old Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler had no problems with most of the SCSI-1 disks I had lying around at the time. And my Akai S-6000 has absolutely no problem talking to pretty much any SCSI device.

The Yamahas should work, but keep it simple. If it doesn't work, report back with that it's doing, a lot of problems usually boil down to improper termination. Newer SCSI kit will probably talk, slowly, on SCSI-1, but some kit, like tape drives and other single ended stuff, gets very cranky indeed.

Thanks for the info. I'll report back later when I get the adapter. Wink
