Hi PeWe!
I have to say that I tested years ago and only for a short time. I don\u2019t really remember which
sampler worked fine with which type. Maybe I can find the next weekends to test again and to
deliver a better feedback.
The fast CDROMs like the 40max work on the Roland S-760 but I am not 100% sure if they
were for the Akai S1000.
At the moment I have a ZIP100 SCSI and a Toshiba (I think 16x) SCSI-CDROM built into a DIY 1U
rack unit for the S1000.
I am not sure if the Syquest 200MB can also write the 44MB and 88MB media. I also found no
info on that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyQuest_Technology or here http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyQuest
:-(
Here they say only \u201cbackwards compatible\u201d: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/SYQUEST+200MB+5.25-INCH+REMOVABLE+HARD+CARTRIDGE+DRIVE+IS+BECOMING...-a017122799
;
But according to this page it can read, write and initialize the 44 and 88 media but not the 44s and 88s media:

Hi Peter !
Did you test a Plextor 12/20 max 40 w/ a S-1000 or S-1100 sampler ?
I never got any CD-ROM drive faster than 2x /4x to work w S-1xxx samplers.
Have to mention I never testet a 8x speed one because I never owned one,- but I
know it never worked w/ a 32x speed drive.
Syquest 200MB SCSI,- do these also write on 44/88MB media or read only ?
I have 44 and 88MB drives and media,- 88MB drive can "use" 44MB media
but read only.
So, the question is what "usage" means w/ 200 / 270 MB drives.
thx for the add. akai drive link

Hi!
Syquest 200MB SCSI drives (5 ΒΌ\u201d) \u2013 they can also use the 44 and 88MB media
For cdrom drives for samplers I prefer using Plextor UltraPlex drives 12/20, 20max, 40max
Like this one http://www.onlinetechexpress.com/media/00/a20792b1248d226075bb09_m.JPG
A very nice overview of compatible drives can be loaded from here:
