Hey there Martin and every one in this S1100 group! I am a noob S1100 user and I am trying to get started. I am having a bit of a rough time though. I figured out that my internal floppy drive in the S1100 does not work which is at least a good thing to know. I have a SCSI Zip drive though which is great but I can not seem to find the actual Akai S1000 formatted sample files to put on it! I have a USB Floppy drive and some floppies with samples on them as well but this drive does not work with either Chicken Systems Translator 6 or OmniFlop! I would prefer to just never have to deal with floppies again seeing as how I have the zip drive and its 2014 and we should surely have the technology to get around floppies, no?!

Is there anywhere I can get the sample files that are not inside floppy disk images so I can just copy them directly to my zip drive using Translator?

If someone could help me get started with this machine it would be great!

Is there ANY way to get the S1100 samples off of the S1100 formatted floppies with a USB floppy drive? So far I have not found a way but there *must* be one! HELP!
