So I just bought an S2000. I have it hooked up to a Philips CDD2600 CDR. I have an Akai format sample disk in the CDR. The CDR is set to SCSI ID 5. The S2000 has the hard disk set to 5, and local ID 6. If this is the problem, why can I not change the local ID?

If it's not the problem, what is the problem?

I've never used an Akai before, I'm used to the E-mus system. Thanks for the help.

Ferg,

I don't know about the CDD2600, but I couldn't ever get the CDD2000 CDR to work or a JVC CDR. I think burners don't work as well? I eventually had to switch to a Toshiba 2X (don't remember the model). It was kinda slow for big files, but was totally solid so I didn't mind.

Just look on ebay for an old Toshiba, Sony, or Apple. You can get em for like $8 (US). I know their are sites with compatibility list floating around.

Now I have a 2gb Jaz and a Kenwood UCR415 52X "True X" for my S5000. This drive is awesome but kinda expensive.

castlewood have got a new cheap ORB drive out I think (they are like jaz but way cheaper, many oem's use 'em too) the obvious drawback is tho that they aint jaz which many people have.. still.. cheap - i've no idea if it can read a jaz cart, i doubt it at all.

Thanks for the info, but I have tried out an old Lacie SCSI CD rom drive and it doesn't see that either. Frankly I'm about at the end of my rope with this.

Apparently the best drives for S2000s
are old Apple CD-ROM drives.

The ORB drive does NOT read Jaz carts.
I have never used my Orb with the S2000,
since I've got a Zip drive for it
specifically.

Also, remember that the S2000 is
probably a standard SCSI device while
most newer products (like burners and
the ORB) are SCSI-2, UltraSCSI, UW-SCSI,
etc. The S2000 may not be able to deal
with those drives effectively.

Good luck!

Well, I tried out an old Mac 2x CD-Rom and it works fine. I guess it was just a compatibility issue. Thanks for the tip.
By the way, are all Akai products this finnicky?
