- SX -1
Hello,
I have had a SX-1 for a few years now, and every sense i've had this machine (that a really love working on) I have had some sort of issues.
Most of my issues have been in regards to booting the SX-1 and maintaining correct operation
My issues started at the beginning when i ordered a sx-1 installation disk from tascam. After installing the software the SX would show a message saying that the operating systems was not compatible with my hardware and would not load.
This was very confusing sense the SX-1 would install correctly with the LE plus install disk.
But even with the LE plus installed, the SX-1 would still have issues booting up.. and most times it would take several attempts before the system would fully boot correctly. ( this is while it was running fine ).
The unit would sometimes not run the fader calibration at all, or it would sometimes simply just hang at the "Mounting Drives screen" (sometimes before sometimes after)
Now, even if i get the SX-1 to fully boot, which is rare!... after a few moments the SX would freeze and also double any sound that i would play through the inputs..
I have tried everything with this machine and read all the posts and nothing seems to work for me..
I have a lot of material on my current drive that i can not access do to the SX freezing within 5 min of loading (if i get it to load).
I have installed the OS on several other drives also with the same results so im clear thats the issues are not with the Hard Drives.
If there is any information available that anyone can share on these issues I would be more than grateful for any help.
My thoughts have been:
Is it possible that the previous owner may have installed a LE plus component that is confusing the OS, or perhaps the motherboard is dead -dieing?..
I love this machine, It was everything i wanted it to be, but music is my passion and production had been virtually at a standstill for over 3 months now.. So if I am unable to fix these issues that would get the SX-1 working correctly i will have a SX-1 for sale..
Please help!
