Are you using a twisted floppy cable ? If no, move the jumper to the "ID0 Drive A" position :

I understand now. My problem was from my floppy cable.
If i use the orginal one no probs. With the cable extends, problems appears.
Thanks Jeff.

I mean the new cable was too long, informations could not be read correctly.

I'm having a problem with s950.

When i try to access the disk (load/save), the machine tells me that i need to format it. When i try to format, i get an error that write-protection is on. I have two Kingston 2gb sd-cards that i have tried plenty of times (i can write/read on them on my pc without any problems). Obviously write-protection clip is on non-protection position.

I'm using same floppy images as on previous posts and i have tried every jumper settings on emulator. I also have tried 3 different floppy cables (original, another one with same length and brand new longer one). Any ideas how to solve this?

Where is the red wire of the floppy cable ? to the left or to the right of the floppy emulator ? (a picture please).

In the s950 case you must Revert the floppy cable.

I am soon hoping to be placing an order for my HxC Card Reader and floppy Drive Emulator to use with my Akai S950 sampler. However, I am now trying to establish the best way for me to transfer my current S950 library (which is quite immense!) to my computer from floppy disc in order to organize the files and then transfer them onto the SD card. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Use the floppy disk dump tool present into the software.

Will this software be for both Mac and PC?
Also, will an internally installed floppy drive be required or will this work with the USB type floppy drives?

On Mac this is only available in command line.
Internal disk drive support only.
This thing can help you : http://www.kryoflux.com/
Try also winimage with your usb floppy disk drive : http://www.winimage.com/download.htm

Thank you for the swift reply and the information provided.

One other question; is it possible to connected the HxC drive emulator to the Akai S950 without removing its existing floppy drive and be able to access data from both of them?
