Aiyo
I got a 2k xl with internal zip 100 plus scsi hd & an external iomega scsi 100 hooked up to the PC aswell.
Since I recently filled up the scsi-hd with beats I started loading my sh*t on old Zips to Archive the old beats on cd or dvd or whatever.
I gots that Ioware or what its called and I can see and copy files & dirs but my main problem is that the filesystem is giving me f*cking headaches!
Here's an example:
I got a folder on the Zip with a beat. In that folder I have .wav .all .aps files. When I load up the zip into the mpc the filenames of the .all files are like
achimedic.all
achimedic_2.all
...
since I got different versions.
Same goes for some samples that I split from stereo->mono, so obviously there are files like
shaker.wav
shaker_l.wav
shaker_r.wav
To come to the point (yes......)
When I load that shit on the PC (XP SP2, NTFS) all these similar files got the same name. Of course thats only how the pc reads the files but when I try to copy them the PC asks if I wan't to replace one file with the other.
Simple you think. Just rename em...
Yea sure,... but when I put them on Zip again, no matter if double files or just 2 wavs and a pgm the filenames will be f*cked and the mpc will not know which files to load etc...
I hope there's some filesystem fix. Otherwise I'm f*cked bigtime
I'd apreciate any help, since I've already wasted an evening of potential beatmaking with filesystem-hating. I cant save any new sh*t as long as I dont get this working ...
Oh, and by the way: Sup fellas. First post here and I must honestly say this place is dope as shhhhhh. Found some nice ideas reading the other day Big up to the dude that came up with that usb-scsi idea!
Hope I can be helpfull aswell.
