Hi, I'm actually a CD3000XL owner and user. I posted the info below on the S3000XL group but I thought I would share it here. Some of this might (just might) be relative to S1000s etc. Has anyone dealt with anything similar below? It seems that the CompactFlash drive could work in other samplers. Allan -----------------------------my post from S3000XL group-------- I found some interesting links where some have installed CompactFlash card readers in their samplers. It appears to be fairly easy. Has anyone else done this with any of the S series samplers (S1000 up to S3000XL? I just got a CD3000XL and having a CompactFlash reader seems interesting. Also I was wondering if its possible to have 2 internal HDs in a sampler? For example, my CD3000XL has one already. Could a second one be added inside? Could it be linked up in a SCSI chain internally? There sure is enough room inside of my CD3000XL. Has anyone tried this? Gee, having a CompactFlash reader (instead of floppy) and 2 internal HD would be nice... or is it wishful thinking? The reason I ask is that the Akai manual says that my sampler can be linked to more that one HD or samplers... I'm new to this so I'm learning, but I was thinking that if there are 2 internal HDs with different ID then one could switch from one to the other... (like switching from CD to HD by changing the ID...) Br Allan RELATED LINKS I FOUND: - Akai S2000 SCSI Modification (adding a CompactFlash reader) Also this person installed a HD in the 2000. This I would like to get more info on. http://www.midicase.com/s2000/index.htm - MPC2000XL Card reader installation http://home.tiscali.nl/%7Esmeyer/mpc/ - Another related link http://www.midicase.com/
