E4X -Toshiba CD-ROM trouble - 02/04/01 03:37 AM

HI my name is Thomas Fals.

I have got an E4X sampler with 128 mb ram, Quantum Fireball_TM 1280S harddisc, running EOS 4.02 Software. I have just bought a Toshiba CD-ROM drive (XM-6201TA), but my harddisc doesent show up when the CD-ROM is connected. I have tried to use all the SCSI IDīs on the Toshiba drive....no difference. The Harddisc is not a SCSI harddisc, so it shouldnt make a difference wether the Cd-rom drive is mounted or not. Please help me out.

Hi Thomas,

Just to make it clear, are you saying that the Quantum hard drive does show up when the CD Rom drive is not connected? Is the CD Rom drive terminated? Although with some devices, things may work fine when you don't have a SCSI terminator at one end of the chain, other devices will have problems with no terminator. The E-mu samplers have a built-in terminator but you also need one for the end of the chain.

HTH,
Fernando
