Let´s go with another question/mystery to me:
Recently, I got a Fujitsu MCF3064SS MO drive, and installed it into the AKAI S3000XL sampler. I took of the floppy drive, and the MO drive is now in the place of the floppy.
I expected to use 640 MB disks, formatted 512 MB (AKAI format limit) but I had no luck. Drive is recognized by the AKAI, but it only works with 128 MB disks. I thought that maybe there was a limit in the AKAI design so it won´t manage higher disks. So I tried with the mac to see what happens.
SCSI chain is:
Mac is 0
Fujitsu mo is 4
Zip drive (external) is 5
AKAI itself is 6
So, no ID conflicts
The Mac sees all the units (SCSI probe shows them), but with the Mac I can only load another 128 MB disk (this one is mac formatted).
Any idea? The unit is clealy up to 640 MB disk capable...
