お楽しみ頂くための変換機マニュアル

On this converter, set the image ﬁle by describing the option (one-byte alphanumeric characters) tothe ﬁle name of the corresponding image ﬁle. This item explains the option settings.

ex）FileName[scsi0][lun0][256][h8][s615].******: image ﬁle extension〇[SCSIx](x:0-7) Option … By describing [SCSI0] to [SCSI7] in the ﬁle name, the image ﬁle can berecognized as a SCSI HDD with ID0 to ID7. Example) PC98StartUpDisk [scsi0] .hdi (It will be recognized
as SCSIHDD set to ID0) ※ It will not be recognized if omitted.
〇[SASIx](x:0-7) Option … By describing [SASI0]-[SASI7] in the ﬁle name, it is possible to recognize
the image ﬁle as SASIHDD up to ID0-ID7. Example) X68000StartUpDisk [sasi0] [256] .hdf (Recognized
as SASIHDD set to ID1) * If omitted, it will not be recognized.

●Be sure to read it before using it for safety.

〇[LUNx](x:0-1] Option … By describing [lun0]-[lun1] in the ﬁle name, it is possible to set the device
number 0 or 1 for the image ﬁle. Example: X68000Start [sasi0] [lun1] [256] .hdf (It is recognized as
SASIHDD of LUN1 set to ID0) ※ If omitted, it will be the device number 0.

This Converter series is intended for connection to a SASI or SCSI interface. Do not connect to an interface other than SASI or SCSI. The
diﬀerence in voltage may cause damage to not only this unit but also the personal computer.
When connecting the connector, please be careful not to get caught in your hair or pinch your ﬁngers. We are not responsible for theloss of hair.
Please do not eat this converter . Please consult your doctor immediately if you ate the converter. Please use out of reach of smallchildren.Use the product in a high temperature or dew condensation location may cause damage to the product or shorten its service
life.
Please use it in a cool place as much as possible to use it forever. When connecting / removing the unit, hold the end of the connector
ﬁrmly and handle it gently. It is best to use this converter carefully.

〇[256] Option … The sector length can be set to 256 bytes by describing [256] in the ﬁle name.
Example: X68000Start [sasi0] [lun0] [256] .hdi (It is recognized as a SASIHDD with a sector length of
256 bytes and set to ID0.) ※ If omitted, the ﬁle with settings will be 512 bytes in the plain image as it isset. Become.
〇[512] Option … The sector length can be set to 512 bytes by writing [512] to the ﬁle name.
Example) PC98StartUpDisk [scsi0] [512] .hdi (It is recognized as SCSI / SASIHDD with sector length 512
bytes set to ID 0) ※ If omitted, ﬁles with settings will be as set.
〇[Hx](x:0-255) Option … The number of heads can be set by describing [H0] to [H255] in the ﬁlename. Setting the number of heads automatically adjusts the number of cylinders. Example) Fixeddisk 0 [scsi0] [h100] .hdi (The number of heads is speciﬁed as 100: An example of an extreme HDD likea babel tower with stacked platters) ※ If omitted, the appropriate value will be automatically selected
depending on the ﬁle size It will be set.

●Machine size and interface

The size of this unit is the same as that of the 2.5-inch HDD / SSD, so it can be ﬁxed using a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch conversion case. Theinterface that can be connected is 3.5-inch SASI / SCSIHDD 50-pin type.

●CompactFlashCard

Please prepare a Compact Flash card and format FAT32 by Windows 10. You can not use CF cards formatted other than FAT32. If you set
the cluster size large at the time of formatting, the transfer speed will be faster.

〇[Sx](x:0-65535) Option … It is possible to set the number of sectors of one cylinder by describing[S0] to [S65535] in the ﬁle name. The number of cylinders is adjusted automatically when the numberof sectors per cylinder is set. Example: Fixed disk 0 [scsi0] [s100] .hdi (ID0 is recognized as a SCSIHDD
with 100 sectors with 1 cylinder sector)※ If omitted, an appropriate value is automatically set according to the ﬁle size.

●HDD Image File

This unit is compatible with .NHD ﬁles (T98-NEXT), HDI (ANEX 86), HDN, HDS, HDF (plain image).

The resistance print side is always on the front.

220Ω(10X-1-221LF)●BUS PowerSwitch〇[VID̲XXXXXXXX](X:Up to 8 single-byte)VendorID … A vendor name (company name) can be set
by describing [VID̲XXXXXXXX] (X: half-width alphanumeric characters) in the ﬁle name. If omitted, it
will be set automatically. Example) Fixed disk 0 [scsi0] [vid̲NECONABE] .hdi
※NEC protection is on the SCSI board (PC9801-55) manufactured by NEC. Therefore, when using it, besure to set it to "NECXXXXX".

In the external type, it is a power switch. The built-in type can be driven by bus power (+5 V) only
when using SCSI. When using with bus power, remove the terminator resistance.

●Terminator Resister

Terminator resistance can be used only when using external SCSI. See the right ﬁgure for theposition of the resistor. All four print side of resistance are on the front side (facing the CF side). It
is not necessary for SASI or built-in SCSI.

330Ω(10X-1-331LF)〇[PID̲XXXXXXXX](X:Up to 16 single-byte)ProductID … It is possible to set a product name (productname) by describing [PID̲XXXXXXXX] (X: 16 alphanumeric characters) in the ﬁle name. If omitted, it
will be set automatically. Example) Fixed disk 0 [scsi0] [vid̲NECONABE] [pid̲COFFEE] .hdi

①How to use this Conveter① Connect this unit to Classic PC.
② Format the prepared CF card in FAT32 with Windows 10 (not the quick format).
③ Set the option to image ﬁle name on Windows 10. (Please see → 2)
④ Copy the option set image ﬁle to the CF card's root directory.
⑤ Insert a CF card into this unit.
⑥ Turn on the Classic PC.
⑦ If the access lamp LED shows normal condition, it is accessible. (Please see → 3)〇[REV̲XXXX](X:p to 16 single-byte numeric)RevisionNUM … A revision number can be set bydescribing [REV̲XXXX] (X: 4 alphanumeric characters) in the ﬁle name. If omitted, it will be setautomatically. Example) Fixed disk 0 [scsi0] [vid̲NECO] [pid̲NABE] [rev̲1919] .hdi
※If you set the option to an image ﬁle that has settings such as sector length and number of sectors,
such as .NHD and .HDI ﬁles, the option takes precedence.
※ Please be careful not to duplicate ﬁle name and option.

③Status display by access lamp.

The converter has two LEDs, a power lamp (top) and an access lamp (bottom). The access lamp
shows the status.
〇Flashes every 0.5 seconds ... Checking CF card .
he CF card is being checked. If the power is turned on to this unit without inserting a CF card, this will
happen.
〇Flashes every 0.25 seconds ... While checking FAT32 / ﬁle.
After checking the CF card (ﬂashing for 0.5 seconds), it blinks for 0.25 seconds if it can not check FAT32
or a valid image ﬁle. It is not formatted with FAT32 of Windows 10, or there is no ﬁle with [SASIx] [SCSIx]
option in the root folder, or there is no ﬁle with the corresponding extension.
〇Blinks quickly for 1 second, then goes oﬀ ... ﬁle recognition successful.
After checking the CF card (ﬂashing for 0.5 seconds), a valid image ﬁle is checked and access preparation is complete. After this, the LED will light if there is access from the PC.

●Option setting example

This item introduces an example of optional settings to be added to the ﬁle name of the image ﬁle.
Image ﬁles are recognized only in the root folder (uppermost place), so it is convenient to save them ina folder for each data type, and move it to the root folder when it is necessary.

④Troubleshooting
Q：Even though the CF card is inserted, the access lamp ﬂashes every second.
A：Since the CF card can not be initialized, please insert it again. If the condition is still the same, replace
the CF card with a new one and try.
Q：The access lamp blinks a little faster after inserting the CF card.
A：Since the CF card is not formatted with FAT32 or there is no valid image ﬁle in the root folder, please
review the format (FAT32) and the image ﬁle (option setting).
Q：The access lamp does not blink when the CF card is not inserted.
A：As the voltage is not enough, please review around the power supply. 4.8 V or more is required tooperate this machine.
