Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

With the OS your best move is to have the OS on EPROMs installed in your unit, I have these as well. By doing this you never have to boot with a disc of any kind, and you can save the OS to Zip when you SCSI format the ZIP disc.

Remember there are no boot up issues when removing the IDE floppy if you use the EPROMS. All you do when you boot is point the S1000 to the Zip drive.

Life is like MIDI, your either IN, OUT or THRU.
