I am using 2 ASR-10's to do all the sound simulation on a Flight Simulator. The sim was built in 1994 and the builder reproduced all the aircraft sounds and wind noise through 2 ARS-10 units with a SCSI tape drive hooked to each unit. These tapes stored all the sounds. I now want to change the SCSI tape drives to Zip drives which I have but I cannot figure out how to copy from the tapes to the Zips. Is there a way to store all that is on the tape on the ASR then hook up the Zip and dump to it or do I need to find a PC and hook both tape and Zip to it and copy that way? I don't have a manual for the ASR-10. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you're gonna be able to hook those 2 devices to your computer and transfer data as easy as you think. As far as I know, there's no program out there that will let you DUMP the contents from one device to another using the ASR-10 format. There's old DOS programs that will do it one file at a time, and that's if you could get the old DOS program to access your SCSI devices. A SCSI tape drive? Good luck with that one.

I'm very surprised that you have a SCSI tape drive hooked up to your ASR-10. I wouldn't have even thought that possible. In fact, I don't believe that you can use a SCSI tape drive on an ASR-10. Anyways....You might be stuck with loading instruments into memory, switching SCSI devices and then saving. Delete instruments from memory and load in new ones. Repeat 500 times.
