SP-3 SCSI Interface Manual
SP-3 SCSI Interface Manual
Introduction
Congratulations on adding the power of SCSI to your ASR-10. We’re sure that once you have
experienced the speed with which you can load sounds from SCSI Storage Devices, you’ll
wonder how you ever did without it. Please read this manual carefully in order to get the most
out of your new
9-3.
What is SCSI?
The great power and flexibility of the ASR-10 lies in the fact that it is really a computer disguised
as a musical instrument. The Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI, pronounced
“scuzzy”)
is
a standardized communication protocol for small computers (such as the Macintosh and the
ASR-10) and peripheral devices (hard disk drives, CD ROM players, etc.) that allows for quick
and efficient transfer of digital information. You may have up to eight SCSI devices connected on
a single SCSI network. These devices can be computers, disk drives, tape backup systems,
musical instruments, and other types of equipment.

Connect the SCSI Storage Device to the ASR-10.
Power on the SCSI Storage Device first, then the ASR-10.
Press (COMMAND), then (SYSTEM -MIDI) and scroll left to the FORMAT SCSI DRIVE
command. Press

Set the LOAD DEVICE=SCSI # to the same SCSI Device ID number you selected in step 4.
Press
(ENTER-YES).
Select and enter a unique name (DISK LABEL) for this device. This is important mainly for
removable drives. Press (ENTER-YES).
Select an Interleave value. ,
Pressing (ENTER-YES) will format the SCSI Storage Device. Respond to the prompts that
