<List of SCSI drive and media checked for function (as of Aug. 1998)>
<SCSI drive and media checked for function>
“The SCSI drive and media checked for function” are products that have been selected from the Fostex recommended list.
They have been connected to an FD-8 and their correct operation confirmed. However, in some cases, there is a subtle
difference in performance from unit to unit, even in the same model from the same manufacturer, and therefore, this is not a
guarantee of the performance of all recommended products on the list. This is also not a evaluation of the SCSI drive and
their performance. The FD-8 has three types of “Recording Mode” and there is a limit to the equipment which can be used
(Refer to the owner’s manual, the quick operation guide and this additional Edition in regards to the recording mode.).
<Drive and media possible in record/playback when connecting to the FD-8>
<To customers with a 2.5 inch internal IDE hard disk installed>
Please note the following if a 2.5 inch hard disk has been installed.
* The 2.5 inch IDE hard disk will be formatted in “Mastering mode” before delivery to the customer.
Therefore, the customer need not format it. If the internal hard disk must be reformatted, be sure to do it correctly after
referring to “Reformatting the disk” in the owner’s manual. When formatting, be careful to note the following.
* When the power is switched on to an FD-8 with a 2.5 inch hard disk installed, the display will indicate as shown below at lower
left. This indicates that the media which can be used is the internal hard disk [IDE], and will be lit as shown below.
However, even though a 2.5 inch hard disk is installed, if an external SCSI drive (current drive) is connected, it will be given
priority automatically and [SCSI] will be shown in the display (lower right indication).
Therefore, when both an external SCSI drive (current drive) and an internal hard disk are used, the external SCSI drive should
not be connected to the SCSI connector if the internal hard disk is to be used to record/playback or when it is to be formatted.

(*1):Record/playback time will differ depending on the capacity of the disk used (640/540/230 MB).
The drive and media which can be used are as follows (The time in the following is the approximate mono track recording time).
(*2):Recording time could be shorter than the time written in above chart, depending on the drive used.
Therefore, the recording time should be checked after formatting, and then checking the REMAIN display.

(*3):The 2.5 inch IDE hard disk will be installed by our service department (The customer cannot do the installation).
If a 2.5 inch IDE hard disk has been installed, we recommended that you read the following items.

Time in ( ) is approximate mono track recording time.
[IDE] will light when the internal IDE
hard disk is the current drive.
[SCSI] will light when the external
SCSI drive is the current drive.
