Great!

Uh oh...

Oh no... I assume this a v6.x SCSI2SD?

I assume some ID's are formatted for the Ensoniq and some for the Kurzweil.

>When using the device with the Ensoniq it works like a charm. But when using it with the K2000R, it detects the drive but when trying to show the content of the drive, it shows a "pc_dskinit this is not a DOS disk".

Sounds like that's a ID that isn't formatted for either.

>On the other hand, it can show the content of the drives created for the Ensoniq TS10 and can succeed in accessing to the content.

That's because the Kurzweil can "read" (rather, it translates) Ensoniq Instruments. The conversion is sub-standard but it does the job, somewhat.

>I had a great, really great support from the guy who sold me the device. He sold a lot of these devices "prepared" for K2000 but never encountered this kind of issue.

OK.

>We tried formatting the Card again from the K2000 (seems to work at first but then when trying to access the same error message appears) we tried another SD card (didn"t work) and when sending back to him the SD card he sold me with sounds, he could access to the files on his K2000. So apparently there are issues neither on the SCSI2SD nor on the SD card.

Sounds like a OS issue. What OS is he running?

Also, are you unplugging/replugging the drive into each sampler?

What about using a separate card for each sampler?

Also, there's no possible way to access all 0-7. Best possibility is that you set your K2000 to self-ID at 3, like the TS, so you have access to 0 1 2 4 5 6 7. Make sure you don't have a SCSI ID conflict. You don't have a internal SCSI Drive on your K2000, do you?

Also, what firmware are you running on your SCSI2SD? It's been hit-miss the last couple firmware revisions with Kurzweil.
