The only other thing that I know of that could be a problem is if the unit doesn't have the latest firmware......

I was looking at the following on eBay:
HOT SWAP SCSI FLASH CARD READER WRITER DRIVE for AKAI MPC2000XL
HOT SWAP SCSI FLASH CARD READER WRITER ...US $190.00 New other (see details) in Musical Instruments & Gear, Pro Audio Equipment, OtherPreview by Yahoo
But when I inquired with the seller, he was insistent that the PCD-60B would NOT work with an Emax 1. FWIW, from the photos, the internal drive itself looks just like a SCM Microsystems drive to me.
I've read enough posts here and elsewhere with folks who have success with the PCD-60B drive, that I was pretty sure it would work but wanted to see if there was anything I was missing.
I know the following caveats:
- CF card size 32-256MB is a safe bet, and to avoid high speed cards
- I know some CF cards as well as some PC Card Adapters can vary so trying a few different ones might be necessary
- I also know firmware makes a difference as some drives only had the older read-only firmware, but upgrading is possible
- I know the PC card slot is the only one that will be recognized and must be set for SCSI id 0
Am I missing something else that could potentially prohibit me from using the 60B? I'm thinking (hoping) the seller is mistaken.
Thanks,
Jim
