Modern saving options for AKAI s3200Xl

Hi All-

I have an Akai s3200XL with a SCSI issue and I'm wondering what other options have been figured out for saving... I see floppy emulators that save to USB stick... Anyone tested that or any other methods?

Appreciate any help!

i have an s3200 with a CF reader that i would like to sell.

How much did you want for it?

@major tom You'll get more for the CF reader separate than you would for the S3200XL.

@stakk peep the other threads about sd2scsi - It's the best option you could take because it can emualte 7 scsi ids. Since the S3200XL cannot format a partition higher than 500 mb (regardless of the size of hard drive or disk you have) this means you could do 500x7 without a problem.

i love the hxc floppy emulator, but it does just that, emulates floppies. if you aren't used to working with floppies, i would try a flash card option.

Thanks for the replies... I have some reading to do

You didnt say what sort of SCSI issue you have, but Id highly recommend SCSI2SD card reader.
Powers from SCSI cable (no power cable needed) and it's hot-swap.
Cheap, too. Google SCSI2SD.

@fanu

I'm not actually sure what the SCSI problem is, with the AKAI SCSI card plugged into the mobo I can't get SCSI to work or the OS 2 to boot. If I take it out OS 2 boot with no problem... I see no visable issue on the card - Myabe I'll post a pick of the card and see if anyone can spot anything but hard to find a replacement card for the 3200XL. I already brought a 3000 SCSI card as I was told it's the same but it's completely different

Loving the SCSI2SD, I think that's perfect and the price is great too

@fanu Do you know what size SD card is the max you can use?

@Stakk I already told you what your limit will be man. 500mb per partition on the S3200, x 7 SCSI ids. It won't matter if you choose a 16 or 64gb micro sd.

yeah he already told you hahaha wait you should be listening to this guy he wants you to pay attention

You're right, I forgot he gave that up from the start. I got lost researching researching the SCSI2SD but thanks for pointing that out.
