BBach Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I have read the scsi reference on the Kurzweil support page and am still confused. I have a 9 Gb glyph drive that I would like to employ on a scsi chain that includes a K2000 v3.53 and a K2500 w/KDFX with the most recent O/S. One part of the info says the synths can utilize 8 Gb of drive space divided in 2Gb partitions. In another section of the info it says the synths can only recognize the first 2 Gb section. Can I utilize 8 Gb on the 9Gb drive? If so, can I partition the drive from the K2500 or must it be done on a computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Rave Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi BBach, FWIW, I have a K2600XS that I installed an internal SCSI drive in. It partitioned into 4 x 2GB okay. YMMV. Good luck, :DTR Cambrian Guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitdump Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 that version of the K2000 OS does not support the partitions. I do not recall if it was implemented in the last K2000 OS or not anymore. If it is in 3.87 then you would have to upgrade the OS ROM chips. Sorry I can't recall, I sure geo will chime in Names to Remember: Charles Stepney & Emory Cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundMeister Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Your K2500 will be able to see four 2GB partitions. A K2000 with version 3.52 or later of the OS should be able to address the hard drive's first 2gig partition.

Dog Tales Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Your system should see it with no problem. I too have a 9 GIG drive & since I upgraded to the newest OS version there is no problem what so ever. However, it does partition that drive into 2 GIG partitions & the last 1 GIG is useless.

Geosync Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Like everyone else has said.. Partition the drive using the K2500 you will have 4 2gig partitions that the K2500 will see the K2000 will also see the 1st 2 gig partition So any files you want shared between the 2 must be on the 1st partition. I would reccomend upgrading to OS 3.87 for the K2000. Then you can burn ISO9660 CD ROMS that can be read by both . 3.87 is required for the K2000 to reccognize ISO 9660 Take Care, George Hamilton Yamaha US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
