OK, interesting. Seems that I should start working with the S100 after storing if for years ;-)
You mean S-1000,- no ? :-)
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).
Well, me too,- tons of CD-ROMs here, not sure if all are in good condition,- but also audio sampling CDs.
It´s there, so the easiest usage is to use the AKAIs,- I have 3 working and one damaged.
I tried converting all the ROMs for Halion 2,- worked in 95% of all intakt CDs (some samples weren´t readable anymore),- but needed a year for about 300 CDs.
It´s boring work, so you won´t do it every day, you know.
In addition, it´s not exactly the same sounding and you´ve to make too much editing then.

Interesting. Maybe I could use an old imac for that thats stored in the cellar. Or a PC with SCSI card...
I would be careful w/ a PC and SCSI card,- you´d need a old Adaptec PCI card doing only SCSI 1 and w/ a 50-pin Centronics connector.
The computers used for music apps in the past were Atari and Mac, so I rely on Mac in regards of SCSI.
Eventually, a iMac is too young, don´t know. Does it run Mac OS 8.6-9.22 ?
I wouldn´t recommend any OS higher than these because I´m not familiar w/ OSX or universal binary Mac OS.
If you find any old PPC,- 6100 is o.k. too, but I threw it in the bin last year,- you´d be fine.
I´m sure it will cost nothing because everyone who has it in his cellar is happy if someone picks it up.
I used a program to format the external harddrives and Syquest media, but I forgot the name and trashed it together w/ the 6100,- it was on it´s harddrive.
Have to ask my friend who is on tour for some days now,- next week.
I´ll get it back and let you know.
ditto
Ciao
