SX-1 LE and SX1-LE PLUS
Tried to call Jim at Tascam. I read several references that he is the goto guy for SX 1. Unfortunately he is doesn't work there any more. I am looking for an OS disk for a SX 1 LE Plus. I have the SX 1 OS disk but I am guessing I cannot use this because of the different drives used. Also I am trying to chase down the disk(s) for the Antares and TC Works effects.
Further more I want to use bigger hd for my Tascam. As I understand a 120 GB drive can be used instead of the 40 GB. I read that formatting needs to be done on a Mac computer.
So here are my requests. Can anybody advise about the OS and effects disk situation? Secondly how do I format a new drive and then install the OS?
 
If memory serves, the effects come as part of the proper OS disc for the plus and SX-1 models. At least that's how the SX-1s work. As far as I know, the SX-1s will format a drive upon installation if you insert the OS CD into the drive and select the 'erase HD and install operating system' option.
 
Thanks everybody for advise and especially RussD for sending me the OS disk for the Tascam SX 1 LE PLUS.
After I found out that the "new" old 120 Gb Seagate Barracuda hhd was a SATA and that I needed a IDE to SATA adapter (2 dollars on Ebay) I was finally able to install the new drive and the OS including formatting. So now I have almost 3 times the data available compared to the original 40 Gb hhd and that is quite a bit more comforting to know.
Check out the pictures of the switch.
