Many years since I did this ..... So maybe I remember it wrong .... Oh yeah ... And hook them up first before startup , and start external CD drive first . The CD drive must have a "Terminator" plug in the second SCSI jack . Make sure the VS and the CD drive have different SCSI ID number. VS #7 (?) Cheers ! Edited by Catweazle (02/24/23 10:28 PM)

I am not seeing anything mentioning an external drive anywhere, including inside of "Project" I would like to be able to choose the external drive. _________________________ So many drummers, so little time...

Catweazle Catweazle Planeteer Registered: 06/06/20 Posts: 231 Loc: Stockholm Sweden	As I said ; it' s been many years since doing this ... But I hooked up one of my "spare" VS to a CD drive today and this is what it actually shows in LCD screen after pressing the "PROJECT" button : "Project List" with the internal HD's partitions listed ( IDE 1 HD, IDE 2 HD and so on. At the bottom of the list = SCSI 1 CD-RW ( That If you have a dedicated CD drive that your VS accepts ( CDR2 ? or PlexWriter/ Plextor ), and if it is connected with proper SCSI cable ... DB-25 ? ) If you don't see SCSI 1 CD-RW at the bottom of the Project List there's probably wrong CD drive, faulty cable, no "Terminator", wrong SCSI ID number .... I have no more ideas ..... Cheers !

At the bottom of the first screen, you will see SCSI......... Make sure it recognizes the burner --under the number assigned (8) or (10) or whatever THEN it should appear at the bottom of the slits Catweazle mentions
