I'm wondering if one could pull the HD from an HD24, hook it to one of
the Wiebetech Firewire DriveDock thingies, and mount the drive on a
computer? Or would Alesis' propirietary file format bite one?
Nope, no dice I'm afraid, thats the problem with the propirietary file
format. What would be sweet (although no idea how on earth they would
implement this!) is if Alesis wrote a plug-in to allow Windows (or OSX
) to see the drive if it was mounted...ALTHOUGH, I think its a
better idea copying the data anyway, imagine damaging your hard drive
whilst trying to get it into a firewire cradle!!! "Sorry guys, was a
good 3 months but we'll have to do it all again!"
Even if you're
not going to be editing on your PC, still a good idea to copy
everything to the PC religously!! I think I have more faith in tape
than IDE hard drives!!
