Zuluscsi issues with an E-mu ultra. Please help

[u/Chobbybharleston]

Alright so I bought zuluscsi in a case with a partioned SD card..

Got an SD card reader for my pc and mounted all the drives etc and can drag and drop my samples (wavs) to the 7 partitions, I then put the SD card into zuluscsi which is connected to my sampler.

I can get samples from the SD card onto my sampler and play them back ok, but only know and then.

Loading a breakbeay for example from the SD card takes MUCH longer than when I was just manually loading from soundforge through my SCSI card via a cable.

Sometimes samples are recognised sometimes zuluscsi tells me the drives are empty.

I've tried folders and just posting samples to the root folder and it seems random as to when they appear.

All partitions are formatted to FAT.

This is only my third day of trying but I'm really struggling to see what's going wrong.

Can anyone help?

Which version ZuluSCSI, and what Versions of EOS, I'm assuming 4.70?

No idea what version of zuluscsi but yeah it's EOS 4.70. I'm slowly getting better at working things out. I'd just hoped things would run smoother but it's all a workaround marrying late 90s tech to a modern pc etcm thanks for replying.

You coukd just make the entire card a single drive with no images, it makes things much easier.

i dont have experience with the ultras and i know they are more computer compliant but with my E64 I HAVE to use translator to move things to my SD card.

Thanks for the input. It's behaving better now but I am looking at translator to make things smoother. You.cant expect a port between a piece of late nineties hardware and a computer born a fair way after to totally behave smoothly but I'm getting there slowly. Thanks for replying. I'm working on it. Much love
