Akai S-1000 didn´t come w/ a FX board and there isn´t any expansion slot for a FX board.
Akai S-1100 came w/ a FX board.

In a S-1100,- yes.

No.

Is not recomended adding a HDD to a S-1000 internaly because there´s no fan.
Well,- there was a Akai S-1000 HD model on the market.
To be true,- I don´t know HOW to add a HDD to a S-1000 internally,- maybe a mounting kit is needed.
In any case, a S-1000 can adress SCSI HDDs up to 540MB / 520MB formatted only, anything else is wasted disk space.
This rules for external HDDs connected to IB-103 SCSI interface card and would be the same w/ a internal drive.

Yes,- make sure you have latest OS eproms or latest OS on a floppy disk inserted in the drive at bootup.
