Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi !

I´d confirm that,- the S-1100 sees 16 megawords = 32 megabytes

Hi!

Are you sure that you don't misinterpret the sampler infoon the LCD?

The sampler gives back the amount of memory in f.e. 16M but not Megabyte but Mega words -
and a word are 16 bit so two byte - thus only half the size you installed in Megabytes...

The Eprom binaries of the S1000 sampler are on the web - Robin Whittle from Australia offers the images on his website. See the bottom of this page: http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/smem/

Ciao

Betreff: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] Hello and S1100 RAM issue.

Hey Guys,

Just introducing myself. A few weeks back I picked up two Akai samplers. An S1000HD and an S1100. These had been sitting in a pawn shop for some time and the price was insanely low. Anyhow, both units backlights were dim so I purchased a few from an English company on ebay, which turned out to be a great product. I just finished replacing them yesterday and both units are working as normal except for...

The S1100 has 4 x 8MB cards yet the machine only sees half of the RAM (16MB). I tried removing each card and sure enough all cards are registering as 4MB each. I checked the DIP switches and they are as they should be 1/2 ON, 3/4 OFF. I also ran the hardware test and all banks came up as fine. The unit's OS ROM is v1.01. Is this early version of the OS causing the problem?

Thanks guys and nice to meet you all.
