The Logic Off Topic list

When I switched from PC to Mac in 2002, I decided that I would put 
SCSI drives in my new dual 1.25 G4.  Therefore I have an interal 70 
gig SCSI that works fine for Jaguar.  On this drive, I have an 
applications partion of 20 gig (called Apps) and all my loops and ESX 
samples on the remaing 50 gigs (I also have iTunes and iPhoto files 
stored there).  I call this partion Music.

I have an external 70 gig SCSI drive that all my songs go on (as well 
as the related audio tracks).  I also have another 100 gig of music 
on SCSI drives (I started with Logic 3.0 on the PC in 1994) 
Everything works GREAT...until....I attempted to upgrade to Panther...

After two weeks in the shop because Panther would not load, my tech 
people were told by Apple that Panther does not support SCSI drives.  
So I bought an interal 250 gig ATA drive and Panther works just fine 
except whenever I use SCSI to record or playback audio (including my 
ESX24, after about 10 seconds it starts to pop and buzz).  In 
Panther, if I am recording and playing back on the ATA drive, no 
problems.  I have concluded (and maybe you have as well by now) that 
I should toss my SCSI drives and convert everything to ATA.  That is 
fine, but I need some advise prior to spending more money....

I am concered that my "music" drive (the one containing about 40 gig 
of loops, etc that is SCSI) will cause me problems if I copy it to a 
new ATA drive (either internal or Firewire).  I have previously put 
all of the ESX24 information on this drive and created an alias to 
the Logic subdirectory.  Am I being too optomistic that if I make a 
copy of the music drive to another ATA drive (with the same name ??) 
all my ESX stuff will find their way in Logic?  Is the only thing I 
need to do is to re-establish the alias link? (though time consuming, 
it can be done).  Any other thoughts or things to watch out for as I 
transistion out of "all SCSI all the time" to ATA drives?

Thanks.  You can respond here or privately at Antcinq@...
