SCSI-Advice needed (MPC 2000)

Hello.

So i finally managed to replace the old broken SCSI CD-Rom with a working one but as with the old CD-ROM the MPC always tells me 'SCSI Not Ready!' when trying to load a program from CD-R. I am not sure about the jumpers on the back of the CD-Rom (they have different names than on the old one) so is there anyone who can help me out? Is it possible that the SCSI-Card is not sitting right in its socket? Looking forward to your answers. Until soon.

Regards.

So that means? Thank you.

Thank you. I didnt just burn WAVs on a CDR. I was given a program done with the MPC Editor by a friend. Parts of this program work when transferred to a Floppy Disk (its way too large for one Floppy ). So what now? I feel kinda 'helpless' now. Haha.

Thanks for all input given.

Do you have any other SCSI device for the MPC to check if the SCSI port is workling?

iso9660 regular ole data cd works on 2kxl.

akai image disc works on 2k and 2kxl.

Hey.

Thank you for your replies. Seems like i just burnt an ISO CD-R. How can i write an AKAI Image Disc? The info i got on the web about this confused me more than it helped. Haha.

With the MPC came a JAZ-Drive so i assume that the SCSI-Port is working. Unfortunately the guy who sold the MPC forgot to inlcude the JAZs psu. Haha. He will be sending it someday soon.

Until soon.

Hey, hasn´t someone some info on burning AKAI CD-Rs yourself?
