RE: [sgroup] Some luck

The OS and sample utilities reside on the same disk Although it's been a while since I used an S-50, just assuming it's like the S-550 There should be a way to turn off the mouse function when you turn on the unit, by holding a combo of keys as you power on. I don't remember what they are now. You will need a monitor though, it'll help a whole bunch! Anything with a composite input will do, an old TV through a VHS recorder or modern LCD TV with such an input, a PC TV card also works Any MSX mouse should work as stated a few days ago here, a few on EBay right now -----Original Message----- From: sgroup-bounces+coolcolj=optusnet.com.au(a)sgroup.ca [mailto:sgroup-bounces+coolcolj=optusnet.com.au@sgroup.ca] On Behalf Of Robbie Dude Sent: Saturday, 12 March 2011 12:09 PM To: sgroup(a)sgroup.ca Subject: [sgroup] Some luck Ok, went out and got some new media. Put it into my XP box ran the sdiskw prog and loaded up some system software on it. Got a monitor and hooked that up as well. Fired it up, popped in the disk and it seems to be working. Now... if I can just figure out how to sample on the thing. Looking at the manual it's in the utility section (utility button) question... will I have to load up the utility disk to do this? (I'm thinking yes) Also, it's not seeing any of my samples disks I have for the S-50. I woulds assume I have to use the convert function first. Will this convert the disk? or will it just copy it over to a new disk? Also, seems like it wants to use the mouse. Thought I saw in the manual that I can switch that off. (looking around right now for a mouse on the web) So it looks like I'm taking baby steps here. But... hopefully I'll be walking soon.. then running. Thanks for your help.
