MicroTech pcd-47b JUMPER Settings !

can someone id what jumpers i have to use. just picked one up today.

u have to set jumpers??? i never did that... don't even know if it's possible on the one i have....

You could try to put NONE in...

probably because you bough an ide CF reader and not a scsi one.

^^Internal readers have jumper settings as well. They're just not as complicated, having as many options as SCSI drives. It probably worked for him 'cause his drive was set to master straight out the box, aka dumb luck.

Nano, whats up mate? Is that your second drive... I thought you got one a while ago? Anyway...

Will these jumper settings still allow you to use external scsi drives?

krux, many thanks, yep this is the second time, i thought i'd ask here b4 i proceeded to remove the bottom of the case to check. and as i hoped you guys had come thru with the goods by the time i had got up this morning..

cheers

i just picked up 5 or so microtech drives, going to bring a few of my other mates akai's up to speed.

hmm it still doesnt work, lights come on but it aint reading smart media or pc cards, plus i havent got CF to test that.. possible need the flash updates for the drives.

either that or i havent pressed it in firmly enough.

I tried these jumper settings and mine does not work either... It only sees 2 , 3 and 4 (where the CF is ) says no SCSI Device but I know they all work in a PC..

Thanks

hey dude, it says scsi right on it

My advice would be to ebay that thing you got and buy and ide mcd. No hassle.

Here is the manual for the card reader:

Microtech PCD47 manual

yeh ive read the manual to begin with.

Things i'll double check when i get home from work.

SCSi cable is firmly pressed into mainboard.

MPC OS, ( i think im still running 1.12 )

firmware version of microtech drive.

recheck all jumpers.

It is not working because you must have 1.20 OS installed in order for the MPC to recognize the card drive.

how stupid of me, i thought they continued to work even with the older OS, or is that only the IDE joints. my other mpc was already updated i dont even remember doing it. i gotta stop saving all my mod projects till im really stoned. cause the proceedures have escaped me.

hmm still no luv from the OS update though.....
