Cubase Audio compatible HD's
Since Cubase Audio for the Falcon uses it's own harddisk routines and only partly uses the actual driver (like AHDI, HDDriver or SCSI-tools) and these routines aren't the best at all times - there are HD's which simply aren't usable with CAF. Sometimes HD's work fine with the Falcon in every aspect but with CAF. This is a problem I hope I can help you out with, since I'm encouraging people to send their reports about HD's to me and I'll continue placing all reported HD's here for everyone to have a look at. You'll find various HD's here and if they work or not with CAF. This way you'll have the possibility to avoid making a mistake when you buy a new HD for your system.

1 It works, but there are some problems with Offline functions2 With a 68 to 50 pin adapter 3 Works, but not as boot device 4 Plays, but can't record audio if Arbitration is activated on the Falcon. With Arbitration off, it works fine. 5 Works fine most of the time, but crashes the system sometimes when making the image file. |
