Changing the VS-880EX’s SCSI ID

Number

When connecting SCSI devices with the VS-880EX, the SCSI ID number of each device must be set so that none of the devices have the same ID number. The VS- 880EX’s SCSI ID number is set to “7” at the factory. When connecting the VS-880EX to other SCSI devices (for example, Zip drives or CD-R drives), be sure to set the SCSI ID number for these other devices to a num- ber other than “7.”

If no other SCSI ID number is vacant, it is also possible to change the SCSI ID number of the VS-880EX.

1.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS DISK PRM ?” appears in the display.

2.Press [YES].

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS DSK:SCSI Self=” appears in the display.

4.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

7.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

Return to Play condition. The new SCSI ID number becomes effective from the next time when the VS- 880EX is turned on.

When There Is No Hard Disk Installed

Even when there is no hard disk installed in the VS- 880EX, it still can be used with only a Zip drive con- nected to the SCSI connector. In such instances, it takes approximately 30 seconds after the power is turned on of the VS-880EX to check its internal hard disk connection status. To avoid this wait, you can preset the VS-880EX not to attempt to use the internal hard disk.

1.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS DISK PRM ?” appears in the display.

2.Press [YES].

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS DSK:IDE Drv=” appears in the display.
