IRW Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 if you save to floppy disk (if you can find one) how does that compare? You'd need to find a floppy drive in the desk first...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niclights Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You're confusing it with an original Expert. The Tiger has the ribbon connector available for a floppy but no actual drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You're confusing it with an original Expert. The Tiger has the ribbon connector available for a floppy but no actual drive. Oh yes. Doh.Anyway, the classic pearl was always quite slow to save shows, even on USB. I just wondered what the original poster considered to be slow.

timmeh2 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi The Tigers can get a bit slow when it comes to loading and saving things, especially if the flash drive starts to become fragmented. You should try updating the personality library sometime, and not an hour before the show, as I've seen someone try to do. All the bestTimmeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The personality library is a sync operation though which is quite different. The problem with the whole thing is that these consoles use proprietary hardware which predates Usb so all the Usb I/O had to be coded from scratch. The combination of this and the technology used means data transfer isn't going to be the same as on more recent console designs. I'll ask the same questions as above - how long does it take and has there been a noticeable increase in the time taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Tec Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi Thanks for the replies ,the Tiger is USB based there is a memory stick inside for on board backup of shows as well as an external usb port for memory stick.the desk is taking up to 50min to back up show file ,with display showing percent done , on one occasion it got to 3% and then froze .cheers guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I appreciate you probably want to keep the show that is loaded on there currently, but have you tried wiping the desk back to factory state and seeing if that helps things? I also assume (please correct me if I am wrong) that the desk gets turned off and has to cold-boot occasionally? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 50min, wow that is slow. Have you tried removing the internal USB stick and replacing with a different one?I presume you have discussed this with Avo service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
