adapter scsi - usb for yamaha psr9000pro - 05/21/02 06:26 AM

The yamaha has a scsi connection.
I wanted to buy a zipdrive scsi in Belgium but they don't sell this anymore...all zipdrives usb.
Is it possible to put an adapter on the psr9000 to convert the scsi port to usb ?
If it is possible ...will a zipdrive usb work on it ?
Thanks,
Alain

They do make adaptors , I've never seen a PSR-9000 but I'm assuming the SCSI on it is the standard 25pin SCSI . You would have to go to a computer store to get the adaptor . The only problem I forsee is that SCSI is a faster data transfer than USB . I don't know if that will create a problem or not , perhaps the bottlenecking of data is handled by the adaptor . Another choice is to look for a used SCSI zip drive , Harmony Central.com , and EMULATORARCHIVE.com are great places to find things like that .

Try asking this on the Arranger Keyboard Forum here on the BBS where I know there are a number of PSR-9000Pro users actively using the forum.
