Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Hello,

I just recently installed Vailixi 3.50 roms from mpc stuff. And a scsi2sd drive with sd card from chicken systems. The mpc sees the 4 devices but my mac and Translator do not. The SD card mounts on the desktop as an untitled 9.4mb drive with no media.

1. I loaded chicken system XML file into scsi2sd util and saved it to the scsi2sd device.
2. I formatted the sd card in the mpc 3000 for each device ID 0,1,2,3
Partition / Mode 1 Hybrid Partitions / 26 Partitions x 32 mb
multisector transfers are set to off
The mpc sees all four devices and partitions. I can save and load from it.
3. Mounted the SD Card on the Mac (Mojave 10.14.6)
4. Trashed preferences while booting Translator. (v7 build 3 Akai)
5. Loaded the sci2sd util XML into Translator and hit refresh.

Still not seeing any MPC drives under Proprietary Drives. Any ideas?

Welcome to the club.

I've been struggling how to make this work FOREVER.

My setup:
MPC3000 with Vailixi 3.5
scsi2sd v5.5 internal (all 4 IDs working, can save no problem) + external scsi2sd v5.5 I can use in addition
Translator 7
Win 10 machine + iMac OSX 10.11 + every number of old shitty computers at my disposal if I need them

I've tried every combination of everything. If anyone can explain ANY POSSIBLE WAY of transferring back and forth to the computer using ANY of these tools please let us know!
