Just a thought,
I don't know anything about the dvd-ram backups or the newer software used
for it but I used to track with a D80 which I backed up to dat tape.
(yea..annoying!!)

But, it transfered the audio to dat intact, ...each stereo pair (1-2/3-4
etc) was recorded(backed up) in sequence and in realtime to the dat tape
with a short beep at the project start of each pair so all could be easily
aligned once I recorded/transfered them into my daw. You might be able to do
something similar with the files on the dvdram....(mabye??).

Good luck,
Mike

I'm pretty sure you can't do that. I think some of the confusion comes
from
the way certain rack mount samplers can do that. The sampler is setup to
look like a SCSI device, the D2424LV and the computer SCSI card are
controllers looking for SCSI devices. Besides, I don't think SCSI is
going
to work well all the way across a house, unless it's a really small
house.

Thanks for the answers guys. However, I wanted to clarify what I think
is a
misconception about my intention.
I was hoping to get a scsi card, so that I could take the external
dvd-ram
drive (with the disc inside that has the fostex backup material) and hook
THAT
up to my computer. Somehow get the info from the backup source onto the
computer that way. Not hook the fostex directly into the computer.
I'm thinking the ethernet thing might be the way to go. But one more
question:
What if I get a dvd-ram drive, internal, on my pc? Will it be able to
read
the backup discs made from the external scsi drive? Is it possible to get
a
dvd-ram drive put into a pc these days?
And this is all assuming that there is some sort of rip available so
that my
computer can read whatever proprietary fostex files the backup disc will
be.
