Emax

hello again group- 
in a day or so i hope to convert my baldwin ike to one with an SD card reader as i purchased the pcd-50b and a ton of scsi chips. 

to my question:
i have about 43.5 mb worth of sample banks. i would like to put these on a partition(s) and "lock" them if possible to only be read, not written. kind of like a ROM bank of sounds. but im not sure i can have more than one formatted drive on a removeable media. 

i would also like to have a part of the removeable media which i can store my own samples. 

is there any way to do this? 
if so, what is the best way to do this? 
i understand that the emax might not be able to format/read greater than 20mb at a time. i cant find where i read that though. 

what would you do?

1) just click the write protect tab on the media.
2) you can't have more than one "partition" on the media
3) Emax 1 can only format 20MB due to firmware restriction of the Emax
4) Where you want to write your samples on a removable media, that would
need to be a media that is not locked as per 1.
I don't believe you can protect single "banks".

Once you have a media and it has the banks, make a copy with EMXP and play
with the duplicate.

I have like 10 flash I bought to do same....

the cf cards are best sd cards seem to curupt 

you can try any way its your choice 

but cf cards are very close to the ata standard and the pcmcia slot is an ata device

Yup, I know that part. 
...but i bought the PCD-50b drive. 
it has a PCMCIA, CompactFlash, MemoryStick, SD/MMC, and Smartmedia slots. 
are you saying that only the PCMCIA slot works with the emax because of LUN?

yes it will only work on lun 0 which is the ata device pcmcia16bit card slot

as the emax is scsi version 1 before lun support came out thats a scsiII protocol and it has to have the bios for it

it was used for servers so that they could access cdroms more than just 1 so they deviced a lun standard so that 8 cdrom drives could be accessed

but no sampler has ever supported it only computer os
