Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi,

I just recently got an akai s1100 for free! and I am trying to get it up to specs, I know nothing of these machines, but i noticed that the backlight isn't working and that has been ordered, How do I use one of these? I would like to modify the floppy drive and convert it to a cf, anyone got a parts list or a tutorial or something?

thanks
