Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi again, 

Actually yes it can! My machine currently automatically loads the 
final OS from the SCSI zip disk. As long as you put the OS on the 
first partition of the drive it should load automatically on powerup. 

This is just temporary until I get enough time & energy to take it 
out of the rack and put in the 2 eproms of the last OS which I 
have. :)
