Right :-)

OK, interesting. Seems that I should start working with the S100 after storing if for years ;-)
I mostly worked with ready made cdrom libraries. Sampling has been done on the Roland samplers only as the user interface ist more friendly (mouse and monitor).

Interesting. Maybe I could use an old imac for that thats stored in the cellar. Or a PC with SCSI card...
