<p>The cables were the culprit. I mean, they only spent 5yrs in a
garage that regularly hit 38C in the summer. <br>
</p>
<p>I had a really great day yesterday, and then, I read your email
here after spending another hour and a half troubleshooting why
the CDROM would no longer recognize...<br>
<br>
After I had figured everything was good and tested, I pushed the
DB-9 back far enough that it put stress on the cable. All 3 times
I ran into "this shit was working fine!" the problems began once I
moved the cables. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm going to buy some more cables, do you have a brand you'd
recommend? I'm assuming aliexpress is not to be trusted ROFL<br>

Yes, exactly.

<div>Intermittent operation is a sign that either termination

<div>FWIW, I have multiple A-samplers (A3K/A5K) on my SCSI chain
as well as a RASCSI and a laptop (I’m doing Disky development
again) and they work very smoothly. But it did require that I
get high quality SCSI cables and check the termination and ID
settings multiple times.<br>

<div class="PlainText">Oof... this has been hell.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have an old SCSI For Samplers setup. The version
of this that comes <br>
closest to working is:<br>
<br>
DB-9:<br>
HD = 0<br>
CDROM = 1<br>
<br>
Spyrus CF device<br>
MCDISK = 7<br>
<br>
A4000 = 6 (factory default)<br>
<br>
(I have yet to see if this works with my K2661 added
into the mix.)<br>
<br>
The symptom that was infuriating was this: The very
first time I loaded <br>
samples from CDROM (when the Spyrus was on ID#2) it
worked great. After <br>
that, any time I tried to access the disk menu or
record menu--at <br>
all--the A4k would hang. Until I turned off the
other SCSI drives. I <br>
did a factory reset: Behavior stayed the same.<br>
<br>
At the present moment, I can navigate and
mount/unmount disks alright, <br>
but now when I try to load programs from CDROM, it
either hangs, or <br>
complains about not reading the disk--which it can
at least do well <br>
enough to load program names without artifacts.<br>
<br>
I have also tried: Disconnecting the spyrus
entirely and terminating <br>
the DB-9. There are two SCSI ports on this, and the
use of either <br>
results in the hanging navigation behavior. Before
I try an exhaustive <br>
SCSI walk... does anyone have troubleshooting
advice?<br>
