Will an xD to SmartMedia adapter work with ESX?

Post by toddADSR »

Just wondering if something like this will work with an ESX?

http://www.shoptronics.com/xdpicaimmeto.html

If not, is a 128mb SM card my biggest sample storage option, or have users come up with other working alternatives? I have a large database of samples I want to use with my recently acquired ESX and don't want to be limited to 128mb and have to be frequently going back and forth to the computer to load samples.

thx!

I use a 128 MB XD card and a Smartmedia adapter. It works perfectly. You can always use several XD cards to save stuff.

I don't think > 128 MB cards/adapters will work.

Thanks! I did also read that somewhere that even with the Smart Media adapter it will not work with memory capacities over 128 mb. Nice to hear that confirmed. I have 1.5 GB just of classic drum machine samples, not to mention other samples I'd like to make available for the ESX, so I guess I'm going to need a few cards :)

Well it is just an assumption, I haven't tried it yet. Though I think the hardware readers in the Electribes just won't be able to allocate/read more than Smartmedia was designed for. This was only 128 MB. :)
