interesting!

thanks for the info. it's very handy for me at the moment.

I have been biting the bullet and internally SCSI-ing up my samplers 
this week. (got a PCD47b and a bunch of 1G CF cards for my mpc2000xl, 
and an internal 9gig disk for my E64. my A5000 already has an internal 
drive, but I'll probably upgrade that soon to something quieter and 
maybe flash based, as it's a clunky old one that sounds like a jet 
taking off)

The emax is the last to go, because scsiforsamplers.com didn't have a 
hot swappable flash drive that they said would work with it when I did 
my order, and for the $$ you pay there I wanted the exact best thing I 
can get. Maybe I should have just bought their basic CFcard SCSI device 
(only one slot and not hot swappable.. but if i can't hot swap anyway, 
then I guess that's about as good as I'll get.)

Does anyone know if any of the PCD series readers will work with an 
emax? the scsiforsamplers.com compatibility sheet says no. There was a 
PCD-10 on ebay the other day that I would have grabbed if I thought it 
would work with the emax and I could have pulled the drive mechanism out 
of its case to mount into my emax.

cool info on the CF cards, too. I have my eye out for them now in 
anticipation.
