D-108 Quick Operation Guide
D-108 main unit
Detachable controller
The D-108 is not equipped with recording media (also called “a current drive” in this Guide), such as a hard
disk. You need to prepare a current drive to make a recording.
The D-108 supports an E-IDE hard disk (that can be installed in the included removable case), and an
external SCSI drive (MO, Zip, or fixed hard disk drive) (that can be connected to the SCSI connector on the
rear panel of the D-108). (Note: Using an MO, Zip, or fixed disk may limit the number of recording tracks,
depending on the disk capacity.)
Be sure to use a drive and a disk with operation guaranteed by Fostex. For more information on disks
supported by the D-108, refer to the “List of drives with guaranteed operation” in the main Owner’s Mnual.
To use an E-IDE hard disk as a current drive, refer to the “Using an E-IDE hard disk” section on the following
page. To use an external SCSI drive, refer to the “Using a SCSI drive” section. If you are using both types of
drives, refer to the “Using two current drives” and “Selecting a current drive” sections.
