Yamaha A3000 and SCSI adapters |
 |
|
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? _________________ Apple Mac Pro 3.1 2.88 GHz. Intel Xeon Quad

Typically, yes. Make sure you terminate the SCSI bus correctly. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

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.  _________________ Apple Mac Pro 3.1 2.88 GHz. Intel Xeon Quad

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. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

Thanks for the info. I'll report back later when I get the adapter.  _________________ Apple Mac Pro 3.1 2.88 GHz. Intel Xeon Quad
