i've just got a package with a scsi-cardreader and hooked it up.
it worked fine and i tried to format a 128mb cf-card (the only one i had at home)

however, it worked fine to format it and i created 6 parts. (21mb each).
the problem came when i tried to save, the mpc says that the file is damage.
but it worked fine when saving on floppy.

should i get a new card of what am i doing wrong ?

it worked fine until i was going to save some sounds...

Have you ever been able to save?

I have 2 PCD-15B's, internal and external.

The external was purchased from http://WWW.SCSIFORSAMPLERS.COM and works great with the MPC3000 on any OS.

The internal was not purchased from http://WWW.SCSIFORSAMPLERS.COM , and...

I have the exact same symptoms when trying to use on it pre-Vailixi 3.50 OS's

I.E. Reads/Formats = OK , Does not Write.

Therefore, I set MULTI SECTOR DATA TRANSFER:Off when writing to CF Card.

i bought the cardreader from scsiforsamplers also.
it's no problem to save to floppy, it's the scsi that's the problem

where do i turn of multi sector ? (don't find it in the manual right now)

Unless your MPC3000 is upgraded with the www.mansell-labs.com "VAILIXI" upgrade then this option will not be available to you for adjustment.
