Think about ditching the floppy and replace it by a 3.5" SCSI ZIP- or MO-drive.
Take care, AKAI S-series samplers can access drives up to 520MB / 512kb sectors only.
In case of a MO-drive,- it should handle magneto optical media disks 128MB-520MB /512k
In have Fujitsu 3.5" magneto optical drives which work fine w/ S-1000PB, S-1000, S-1100 and my EMU e64 samplers.
I found the drives cheap @ebay.
For the Akais, I´m using Verbatim 230MB media and only the EMU is able to use 640MB/ 1024k media.
There´s a mod of the Akai IB-103 SCSI card necessary to assemble SCSI dives internaly in S- series samplers.
You probably find more details at Route66Studios website,- and maybe Rish chimes in here.
He has all the info on AKAI floppy drives and ZIP / MOD modifications.
hope that helps
