USB to SCSI converters ??

has anyone worked out how to use USB storage devices on the 3000 via scsi? thinking there must be some sort of adaptor out there so i can use a USB key instead of the zip...

peace

I doubt if it'll work... but good luck.

usb key, meaning thumbdrive, jumpdrive?

the usb key will be the slave device, so will the 3k. It wouldn't work.

Something like this? could work, try it.. should not be to expensive...

im 99.9% sure this has been raised before, many times and the answer was NO

That will NOT work with a USB key.... There are two types of USB connections, host and slave. A USB slave would be a USB hard drive, thumbdrive, USB key, etc. A USB host, would be the equal to the USB port on your computer; ie. a USB port or interface that you could "hang" a USB device off of.

If you're lookin to expand the storage capabilities of your MPC3000, then I'd suggest goin with either a ZIP drive or external SCSI hard drive. The external drives can be found relatively cheap on eBay, as are the SCSI ZIP drives (both internal and external) A good combination would be to have both a SCSI ZIP and a SCSI hard drive. With that setup, you could use the ZIP to transfer your sounds/samples from your computer into the MPC3000, then save it all onto the SCSI hard disk... just my 2cents.

peace,
