360 Systems Instant Replay

R

RadioMan203

I'm working with an Instant Replay 544, which is an older model prior to those that have the Ethernet networking built-in. I'm trying to help someone load a large number of WAV files they already have recorded onto the machine instead of having to re-record them into the unit one by one.

I'm trying to determine if the built-in IDE drive would either mount under Windows or if I can transfer the files by transferring them with some flavor of Unix. I don't have access to the unit at the moment so I am trying to offer some suggestions to the person actually performing the work. I found a YouTube video of somebody cloning a much older unit with a SCSI drive but not file loading onto the internal drive.
 
Why don't you ask their support? They had good technical support back when we still used DigiCarts...

The last time I used their support it was "disappointing" so I thought perhaps someone here may have run into this situation. I have no problem pulling the drives and experimenting but that would mean getting physical possession of the unit to do so.
 
I didn't realize these guys were still around. I sold them 15+ years ago.
 
I decided to call them and they told me that there wasn't any way to transfer linear audio from a PC to the drive even if removed from the unit. I may try experimenting if I get the chance as it would be more time consuming to transfer all the tracks in real time.
 
I think the real challenge with that would be that their drive formatting is not "normal" so it would be hard to read or write to the drive with your PC.

Understood, but the thing that inspired the whole idea was the fact that I saw a YouTube video of somebody duplicating an older drive under Linux with a live boot CD. My thought was if the drive was able to be cloned under Linux that perhaps the file system might be compatible as well. I don't cherish having to transfer several hundred audio cuts in real time if I could somehow manage to just copy the files directly to the drive.
