It also stores images of CD-ROMs to the harddrive of a PC.
But,- once the data is stored on the PCs harddrive, the data can be read by CDXtract only and in the original format.
For communication w/ a AKAI s-series sampler,\ufffd you\ufffdd need a program reading that format and communicate w/ a SCSI card built into the PC and a to that SCSI card connected S-1000/1100 or SCSI drive.
I\ufffdm not sure whether CDXtract can access a SCSI card built into a PC or not,- I never tried and I doubt the latest version does.
Maybe earlier versions ...
I have a Adaptec card in one of my PCs,- I believe it\ufffds a 2904 and it works w/ Win XP and has a Mini Centronics 50 connector externaly as well as a SCSI connector internally.
The only application I know, working w/ samples over the external SCSI connection of that card, is Steinberg Wavelab 4.01b, which is the highest version supporting SCSI,- but it works only w/ EMU E64.
For the S-1000, there\ufffds MIDI sample dump standard only and that\ufffds slow.
With a old Mac PPC, which has a SCSI connector and running Roxio p.ex., it\ufffds absolutely easy to do 1:1 SCSI copy of any optical, harddrive or removable media drive, but works only for the complete content/media.
So doing a SCSI copy of a CD-ROM to a ZIP media doesn\ufffdt work because the Zip media stores 100MB or 270MB at max..
Digidesign Sound Designer 1.5 for Atari / Mac works w/ AKAI 16Bit samplers.
Macs from that era have SCSI,- ATARI and S-1000/1100 need to have the AKAI IB-??? Supra drive card built in, not the IB-103 SCSI card.
The only "almost no compromize" app was MESA for the Mac and AKAI S-2000, but didn\ufffdt work w/ S-1000/S-1100 unfortunately.
Best is to have a compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive, harddrives etc. w/ S-1000/ S-1100, but all the editing is from the AKAI\ufffds frontpanel then.

\ufffdI think you can use CDXtract to do that. I might still have a SCSI CD Rom that works with the S1000. Haven't used it in a whilebut I will test if you are interested in it.

Subject: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] Akai CD-ROM transfer samples to ZIP disk in Windows
\ufffdHi,
I have S1000 and couple of sample CD-ROMs (Akai format). I was not able to find SCSI CD-ROM drive compatible with S1000, but the S1000 works OK with ZIP drive.
Is it possible to copy the samples and programs from Akai CD in Windows PC to Akai formated ZIP drive? (in Awave, Chicksys Translator, CD-Extract or some other software)
Thanks
Tomas
