don't seem to want to let you know
about it. it's scsi, and it's not easy to
find a compatable one supposedly,
I'm just getting one now, so I'm trying
to find more info. I'll let you know if I
do.
Peaceout,
Peter

this gives you a type of HD that'll
work, and how to install it.
Peaceout,

on a side note, does the sampler care about what kind of memory you put in it? (Fast Page vs. EDO)
Message 6/14 17-Jan-01 @ 04:33 PM - RE: S5K + Internal Drive?
Supposedly any of the seagate barracuda drives that the serial number is ST3xxxxN will work theres a 9.1 gig one that goes for about 125 on ebay usually thats in that serial# range. The next thing will be a CDrom drive.
Peaceout,

i have an internal hard drive to put in but haven't got a clue what the jumpers are all about.
i've no instructions with it (hitachi model dk326c) but i've got some jumper information from related sites.
the trouble is, i haven't got a clue what to do, any advice?

S sits on, I think they sit on 7 -
usually that's the SCSI controller ID,
so just make sure you set the SCSI ID to
a free channel in your chain (ie if you
have an external Zip on ID 5, and the
S5k is on 7, use any other open ID).
Try not to use 0 - if you have a
computer hooked up to it it will try to
boot off that drive. Many drives come
like this by default.
With the USB option though I'm not sure
why you'd SCSI your sampler to a
computer any more.

it's just i can't get the internal hard drive to communicate with the sampler before i install it inside.
is what you mention referring to installing the hard drive in the sampler?
jumpers are a right pain if you don't understand them.
Message 10/14 16-Feb-01 @ 06:54 PM - RE: S5K + Internal Drive?
what jumpers do what? Email it to me
and I'll see if I can't help you out.

let me know if you can help
many thanks

SCSI controller is on ID 7, and that you
have no other devices hooked up in your
chain.
Set the jumpers J6 to any ID between 1
and 6. I'd go with 1 or 2, since zip
drives and such usually like 4, 5, or 6.
Enable termination by installing a
jumper across pins 5 and 6 of JP3. Make
sure the rest of the settings are at
DEFAULT. the document on the site you
poiunted me to shows you exactly how to
do that.
From your e-mail, are you trying to hook
the drive up externally to test it?
umm, is it getting power? does it spin
up? How are you hooking it up?
I'd recommend bolting the sucker in
there and hooking it up for good, but
leave the case open. Fire up the
sampler and see what you get.

it does spin so it has power but the akai can't find it.
i'll try this weekend.
cheers
Message 14/14 22-Feb-01 @ 09:46 PM - RE: S5K + Internal Drive?
on my Emu Darwin is that it doesn't
automatically spin up the drive. I have
to try to open a project, then it'll
spin the drive up, then I have to
cancel, re-mount, and then re-open. So
check those jumpers and see if there's
an auto-spin up or a low power mode or
something like that and disable/enable
appropriately so that the drive's online
all the time. I didn't notice when I
looked because I wasn't looking for it :P
