Chapter 9: Saving to and Loading from Disk
Using a SCSI Hard Disk
The MPC3000’s SCSI port permits an external SCSI hard drive to
be used for all disk save and load operations. A 25-pin D-type SCSI
connector is used, which is compatible with hard drives used with
the Apple Macintosh. All that is required for interfacing with hard
drives that use 50-pin connectors is the appropriate SCSI adapter
cable. At time of printing of this manual, however, only the following
have been tested with the MPC3000:

If you are unsure whether a specific hard drive will work with the
MPC3000, call your Akai distributor.

Changing the power-on delay:
When the MPC3000’s power is turned on, the bottom line of the
screen shows the following message:

This informs you that the MPC3000 is scanning the SCSI port to
determine if a hard disk is connected.

If a hard disk is connected to the SCSI port and the power for both
the hard disk and the MPC3000 is turned on simultaneously, this
message will persist until the hard disk apine up to the proper
operating speed, then the MPC3000’s MAIN SCREEN will appear,
indicating that the MPC3000 is ready for use with the hard disk.

If no hard disk is connected to the SCSI port, this message will
appear for 30 seconds. This is because the MPC3000 can’t tell the
difference between no hard disk and a hard disk spinning up to
speed, which can take up to 30 seconds for some hard disks.

If no hard disk is connected and you want to cancel this delay, press
SOFT KEY 4 while the message appears on the screen.
