I just hit up an s2000 thread like 5 times today - figured I 'd just start a thread for Akai owners.
hooked up my S5000 to my PC w/ an Adaptec ATA-2940 SCSI card.
Flip on my sampler and it finds the internal hard drive without a problem.
flip on my pc. hit Ctrl+A and enter the SCSI config screen. I enter the SCSI utilities menu and it scans for SCSI devices. Finds the ATA-2940 SCSI at device #7 and nothing else.
scan for new drives from the S5000 and POW! it crashes.
reboot - exit and save the SCSI config and am prompted with a "BIOS not installed!" error but lets me continue.
loads PC's BIOS.
enter XP and check devices under computer, and there's Machine_A [s5000 HardDrive] im able to play samples from the s5000 HD from the and drag and drop transfer from the S5000's HD to my PC HD. Yay! but the 5000 still doesn't see my PC's HD, so im not able to send files from the S5000 to the computer, which is mildly irritating. scan and ....CRASH!
now when I don't enter windows but have the PC on the S5000 doesn't see anything - not even the hard drive inside the s5000, and it doesn't crash. I'm thinking that's because my PC's BIOS loads after the SCSI cards BIOS, some sort of resource conflict with the devices. that or SCSI works only 1 way in a chain.
im not too put off by having to move files from the sampler to my PC from the computer, but I would like to avoid losing hours of work because of a crash. Other than the obvious answer of not scanning for disks on the S5000, anybody have an idea how to fix this?
