Wide Kingston Drive Frames
The Kingston SCSI drive frame in the MMR is normally configured for narrow SCSI. TASCAM can also
provide MMR/MMP units configured with wide Kingston frames and carriers, and can perform a service
upgrade to remove the existing narrow Kinston frame and carrier and replace it with a wide Kingston
frame and carrier. Contact your TASCAM representative for pricing and availability on these wide units.
Note that a narrow drive carrier will not fit into a wide frame, and vice versa.
It is possible to mount a narrow SCSI drive in a wide Kingston carrier (or vice versa) by means of an
adapter inside the carrier. One source for these adapters and other SCSI cable peripherals can be found at:

Manufacturers frequently release new drive models and obsolete other drive models. The most current list
of approved drives can be found on the TASCAM web site at http://www.tascam.com .
* Users should be aware these drives do not perform as well as hard drives. Test results with the NIKON
Beluga drive with 1K/sector media show 8 tracks of record and playback in 16- or 24-bit TapeMode is
generally reliable. Non-destructive mode performance is less reliable, especially with heavy edit density.
