Confirmed models
CD-R/RW drive: PLEXTOR PX-W1210TSE
For a list of other models, please visit the ZOOM
Corporation web site (http://www.zoom.co.jp).

Available functions
• "Confirmed" refers to the fact that normal operation was
confirmed with a production unit purchased by ZOOM
Corporation. It is not guaranteed that all functions will
operate with these specific models.
• ZOOM Corporation does not accept any responsibility
whatsoever for any kind of damage arising from the use
of the above SCSI devices, whether they be direct or
indirect from any third parties.
When the SIB-01 is installed in the MRS-
1044CD and an external CD-R/RW drive is
connected, it is not possible to use this drive
simultaneously with the integrated CD-R/RW
drive.
Connection of SCSI Devices
To connect the MRS-1044 series (with SIB-01 installed) to
a SCSI device, proceed as follows.
1.
Make sure that power to the MRS-1044 series and
the external SCSI device is turned off. Then
connect the SCSI connector on the SIB-01 to the
SCSI connector of the SCSI device, using a SCSI
cable.
The SCSI cable should be a high-impedance type and
should be as short as possible. The use of an inferior cable
can lead to malfunction and damage.
2.
Mount the terminator on the external SCSI device.
The "terminator" is a special resistor that must be present
on the last device in a SCSI chain. Some devices have a
terminator built in. In such a case, set the switch for the
terminator to ON.
3.
Set the SCSI ID of the external device to any
number from 0 – 6.
The "SCSI ID" is a number from 0 to 7 that serves to
identify a device in a SCSI chain. Because the SCSI ID of
the MRS-1044 series (SIB-01) is fixed to "7", the setting
range for an external SCSI device connected to the
MRS-1044 is 0 – 6.
4.
Turn power on in the following sequence external
