The Mirage/Soloist 2 can control SCSI-2 (50-pin narrow), IDE (EIDE) hard
drives and ATAPI (IDE) CDROM or DVDROM drives. ATAPI devices use a
completely different file system from hard drives. The ATAPI devices read ISO-
9660 formatted disks. The Mirage/Soloist reads FAT 16 formatted hard drives.
Each hard drive can have up to eight partitions. The proces s required to format
hard drives includes F-disk and format commands within DOS and the Partition
and Format Commands of the Mirage and Soloist 2. Contact ADTEC for
specific instructions on drive preparation.
The Mirage/Soloist supports up to eight (8) IDE (EIDE) and seven (7) SCSI-2
hard drives. Physical concerns limit the Soloist chassis to two (2) physical
drives. The Mirage can only have one (1) IDE hard drive and
does not support
SCSI drives.
\
DDSN can be used to play a
specific spot by either serial or
parallel control. The DDSN
number is always used with the
Active 64-16 or Lite-Ning
automated broadcast controllers.
%
ATAPI devices use media formatted
with the ISO-9660 standard.
%
Drives can be formatted using DOS
6.0 (shelling out of Windows can
cause problems with F-disk and
Format commands) or by using the
Partition/Format commands in the
Mirage/Soloist 2. See the
Command Interface Manual for
further information.
