Sujet Un driver k2000

Citation : PC & Win 95/98 Specific Issues:

Please read the entire section on using the Kurzweil in a chain with your computer before continuing.

The PC, unlike the Mac does not have SCSI built in as a standard part of the computer. Instead you have to have a SCSI card added. As is often the case with these things, not all cards are created equal. We recommend that you use an Adaptec SCSI card, or any other card that uses the ASPI standard protocols (ASPI was created by Adaptec).

For a K2600 with version 2 or later, a Non-KDFXK2500 with v2.98 or later, or a KDFX K2500 with v4.44 or later

The PC will have no problems recognizing the drive. We recommend that you format any drive from the Kurzweil instead of from the PC, if you wish the drive to be accessible to both the Kurzweil and PC.

For a K2000, a Non-KDFXK2500 with v2.96 or earlier, or a KDFX K2500 with v4.32 or earlier, or a K2600 with v1

The PC may or may not recognize Kurzweil formatted drives from these models. This depends on both the SCSI card and your SCSI driver. Since our format is not true DOS, it is not surprising that the PC won't recognize our format, but some drivers seem to be more tolerant than others. Some users have reported to being able to recognize our format with a Future Domain 1670 SCSI card used in conjunction with a Corell ASPI SCSI driver. Other card/drivers combinations may work as well. Even if your PC can recognize a Kurzweil formatted drive, we still recommend that you format the drive in DOS, to help prevent any potential problems.

For all models

The SCSI driver you install can also affect other things. For instance, we have heard reports of users who could not do SMDI transfers using Sound Forge. The problem turned out to be the SCSI driver they were using. Sonic Foundry can recommend SCSI cards and drivers which will work with their software.

Since the Kurzweil recognizes DOS formatted drives, it will be able to see the internal hard drive of your PC, as long as it is SCSI and not IDE. We STRONGLY recommend that you NEVER write to this drive from the Kurzweil. Since this drive most likely contains your system software, you are just asking for trouble if a SCSI conflict between the two devices corrupts your data on that drive. Of course, it is perfectly acceptable to use the PC to copy Kurzweil data from another drive onto that drive. As long as the PC is in control, no problems will occur.
