always alot of confusion surounding the s3000 (not s3000xl)
I've seen different release dates on all machines on different websites,
even akai them selves seem to mess it up. not talking like, the day date (haha)
just the year.
I think it goes like this?
1986 - something else, forgot the name, was a 1unit
rack
1986 - s900
1988 - s950, s1000
1990 s1100
1992 s3000, s2800 (??)
1995 - s2000, s01
1996 - s3000xl, s3200
1998 - s500, s600, s20
I might be compelty wrong :)
