Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hiya,

When I acquired my S1000 a couple of years ago, the floppy drive kept giving me errors as well - bad formats and the like. I was all set to try and find a new one, when the issue cleared up. My guess is that it got out alignment during shipping, and it needed to be used a few times in order to set it right.

I'm not saying this is what's happening with your units, but it is a possibility.

Cheers,
-Josh
