I have a Zip disks and a SCSI HD with samples saved from a Simmons SDX, as linear 16 bit, in its own disk format.

Would someone kindly advise me if they are aware of any software, Mac or PC, preferably Mac, that can make an exact disk image of the above.

Then I could load the image into an editor as a raw file and manually cut out the relevant samples.

Thanks

Hi AV,

Don't know if this helps, but I have been able to burn CD backups of my internal HDs and external MOs, Syquests, etc. for my Roland 770, EMu e4XT, and K2500 using Toast. I just hook them to my Mac which won't see them (wrong format) and use SCSI copy in Toast. It makes a CD I can read with the samplers. Great backup for the drives, But I don't know how you can then get the samples off of them into your computer. I have seen a few programs that can read different formats of sample CDs and drives. But can't think of any software that well let you read SDX files. TransferStation by imuse well let you read alot of sampler discs. WWW.imuse.com

As long the image can appear somewhere on the Mac hd.
DSound Pro can load any file type, as if it where a sample. Most of the time you get noise.
I'm assuming that if I can get an image of a non standard format Zip for example. I can manually chop out each sample visually, maybe there will be a bit of garbage between each one, if they are saved continuously.
Thanks I'll chase up Toast and see what happens.

Thanks Kelvin. It worked perfectly. I've saved the whole disk as an aiff.
