all microtech drives are going to be second hand as they are not produced for the last 5 years

the other problem with the pcd series is that they were made for printing machines and only had read only os systems

some only had 1 slot working at any 1 time

now buy your self a acard ultra scsi to  ide board $30

now make sure its got the older os on board if not down grade it

now buy a 3.5" bay iide to pcmcia card drive and an pcmcia to cf adapter these drives are hot swappable you will get a system for about $80 

but there are not many acards left if you cant get them get a iodata scsi12e they also work if you are using ultra mda cards make sure you set it to dma mode or you wont be able to format more than 1gb

  hey jammie - did you get in touch with JD?

  further weirdness has evolved in relation to scsiforsamplers.com

  http://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-electronic-music-production/415880-hardware-samplers-scsi-hard-drives.html

  seems that without paypal protection, someone in italy was sold an "as
  is" drive, after being redirected from a sale through
  scsiforsamplers.com, by scsiforsamplers.com to an "associate" of
  scsiforsamplers.com.... called JD... (you know - same name as the guy
  that everyone who deals with scsiforsamplers.com actually deals
  with......) and this drive arrived in a non-operational state.

  now I don't know about anyone else, but when I read something is being
  sold "as is" I assume it to mean "this works, but there's no warranty"
  if you know something is broken, then you would sell it "broken, as is"
  and I don't understand how, that at the markup scsiforsamplers.com sells
  things, the drives are not ALL checked, and their working status is
  confirmed or not, as soon as they arrive in store.... which leads to a
  very bad assumption on the character of whoever is doing this...

  anyway - like I already said.. massive uncharacteristic weirdness is
  going on here with scsiforsamplers.com - be extra careful of anything
  they (or an associate of them that you might normally believe is acting
  on their behalf) tries to offer you something to buy "as is" through an
  untraceable payment system - because it looks like the trick is to get
  people to buy something broken with no warranty, and then use the "no
  warranty" as an escape clause for selling broken gear in the first
  place..

  and THEN on top of everything else, when their victim talks about it on
  line, to go and email the victim, threatening a defamation suit!

  so - unless some massive explaining gets done, I'd recommend that nobody
  buy from scsiforsamplers.com without the protection of paypal. if
  they're interested in dealing with a company that can allow this sort of
  behaviour at all....
