SCSI is a big reason I haven't embraced classic samplers and computers. I had simple setups that should work and didn't and more than a few that should not have worked but did. </div>

<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>
