Re: Is anyone in the group using their Emax II with a Mac?

2008-11-29 by bty54193247

Would I be able to back-up on my Mac via SCSI? I'm not to worried if I cant, as I now have 
several SCSI storage options, ie: EZ135, SCSI HD, which I would connect directly to my 
sampler.
Many thanks again for all of your help.

All the best

Dave
