The problem occurs when i switch on the akai with the zip drive connected, akai says "waiting for hard disk ready..." and freezes, but if i boot from floppy, akai also freezes if i try to access the zip from the save pages.I have checked akai and zip manuals but to no avail so any help or advice would be well recieved. Cheers, Olivaffair.

I have not seen anything with a parallel port for at least 5 years. I thought that type of termination had become extinct. Is parallel the only option for connecting the zip and Akai? Sometimes they provide SCSI too and if you have the option... use the SCSI ports. Oh, here is another possibilty. When I had an EMU ESI2000... you had to install the emu system software on the ZIP for it to read it... otherwise it would freeze. The manual didn't say anything about that either an I learned it from another user. So, maybe you need to format and install system on zip for it work correctly. If all else fails, contact AKAI or search their site. -------------------- ---------------------------------------- <span style='font-size:18pt;line-height:100%'>Synthetic Tone</span> Click above for totally original electronic music, art, & photos.

I'm pretty sure its the right type to use with akai samplers as i know someone else that has the same set-up but they have never experienced problems like this, anyway i shall try installing the system software and see what happens. Thanks again, Olivaffair

That more recnt one is able to autodetect the bus and switch accordingly to SCSI or Parallel mode. It is probably this device we are talking about. -------------------- GLterm Loudometer FFTea LanOSD

You will buy an Iomega Zip SCSI port for the next times! ;-) bye. jon

Newbie Groupe : Members Messages : 3 Inscrit : 16 mai 03 Lieu : London - UK Membre n^o 17,983	Hi... I too have the same problem with my s3000xl. It seems that the scsi port is very sensitive to plugging things in and out. I have heard different solutions to this problem. My dealer told me that if you plug in the zip drive again in the correct way it should read it again... but what is that correct way? Some zip drives have two parallel ports on the back so you can use the zip in a chain between both your sampler and your mac or pc... if you do this you have to set a different scsi id for each piece of hardware (computer, zip drive, sampler). Maybe only one of the ports works with the sampler? Ive had my sampler for nearly two years but have rarely used it because of lack of memory and zip drive. I'm trying to sort it all out at the moment - I have some memory coming in the post but I would really like to get this zip going. If anyone has discovered anything new then please post back! I'm off to see if I can find a replacement scsi card... Patrick

It is old and therefore v cheap on the second hand market. Also, there is a piece of software called Interpreter which allows Mac's to read AKAI files.
