I haven’t tried using the usb port on the s5000 to mount USB storage, but my guess is that it won’t work.

Some other users have seem to have had some luck using a SCSI -> IDE adapter, and a IDE memory card reader. If you also had a memory card reader for your computer, it with give you the same ease of transport as a USB stick.

I’m waiting for my USB card to arrive. While ak.sys looks like lots of fun – what I really want to do is plug a usb flash drive into the usb port and have the files show up on my sampler. I’m surprised that no-one else has asked this in here, but…Has anyone ever tried handing an external drive or USB flash/thumb drive off of the USB port to see it it shows up the contents on the S5000?

This would be ideal for me – I can hook it up to a laptop for editing and use a preloaded flash drive for gigging.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I’m curious if salvador was able to get the CF reader to work. Thats a great idea if it does indeed work.

Hey Dustin,

I share you desire to head out into the wild in nothing but an RV. I would suggest you go out in a rented RV for a couple of months like I did, with my wife. I could probably swing it no problem, but the misses wasn’t havin it. You’d also like to follow this guy,, he’s even a photographer. http://www.whereisben.com.
BTW, Mr. Hornbake, really enjoying the conversion bud. Keep it up.

That’s brilliant! nice work.

I never would have thought that you could put a flash drive like that in an older sampler. Although I guess the S5000 isn’t that old.

this is very awesome. i had an idea to live and work out of a dodge sprinter van this very evening. i have been looking for cheap housing while going to school for photography. and i will also need a vehicle for going to job sites. so i thought why not convert a sprinter into a home/small studio. i didnt like the idea of a traditional rv because of the appearance. i like to blend in more. this is an amazing idea base for me and i like the work you have done here and hope to consult you for my build in the future!

thanks!

Haven’t noticed any. I can’t remember how much it weighs, but I installed it by myself, and I don’t remember struggling too much with it, so it must be under 100lbs. Compared to the weight of the van, that’s not so much, especially when you consider the probably 250+ lbs of steel added for interior construction, 4 passengers, and 500+ lbs of gear that is usually in the back cargo area.
