Original Message 1/13 03-Jul-02 @ 06:21 PM - I don' git it! SCSI and my migraine
I'm having a SCSI nightmare. I've got an A3000 hooked up via SCSI to my (influx's!!!) scsi zip drive. The Zip is hooked up to the PC. The PC sees the sampler and the Zip and reads from disks in the zip! No worries, right? hehehe
So when I try to use Recycle, Sound Forge 5.0 or Yamaha's Tiny Wave Editor to look at the sampler, the system crashes, HARD! No warning, no blue screen, just BOOM! The SCSI card is a Siig AP10, their website says winXP already has the proper drivers so it's not that (I hope)...
I've never had probs like this with SCSI before. All the terminations are correct. I really do know what I'm doing outside of the obvious headache this has become.
Any tech heads with knowledge or suggestions would be extremely appreciated! Thanks...

Nothing does, I hate it and I want it to go away! Hehehehe.

I am certainly no SCSI expert though. Does it work without the Zip drive in the loop? I always had problems with MESA and my Akai S2000 when the zip drive was in the chain.

and..youre POSTIVE that the card itself is set properly inside the PC?

I'll try taking the ZIP out of the loop. It worked on the old computer though...
This is why I rag on and on about hardware being superior. Just shuffling samples back and forth isn't worth this headache...
Thanks for the suggestions...

this is one old thread, man! And what a bitch I was being, I sound like big friggin' whiner in this thread, as I recall, this was driving me crazy at the time... hehehe
well, sort of. I found out out what caused it but I never was able to fix it. My PC was having resource allocation problems and the SCSI connection to the pci port was intermittent (as in, whenever it felt like it)... I was having freaky startup problems with the SCSI card in there as well. And sometimes, my floppy drive would just disappear from the desktop.
I solved the problem, I took the friggin' SCSI card out. I had an HP pavilion, with some "built-in" issues. always counted myself lucky that I was able to use my Multi-port sound card with that computer...

Those are some of the worst computers ever built.. Right up there with Packard Bell...
