For the same price I'd get the CF card reader.Scsi is a lot faster.

  i haven't gotek. myself, what I do know is that they work. with the

  the gotek floppy emulator won't work in anything that doesen't use a
  regular PC floppy drive, configured like a regular floppy drive, and
  controled like a regular floppy drive.

  as far as I can tell the S1000 has a regular floppy drive, but I
  don't know how its configured, or how different the akai floppy format
  is from regular msdos.

  I'd say there is a good chance It'LL work, but you'd have to try it to be sure.

  there is a Guy out there who wrote an alternative firmware for the
  gotek floppy emulator that makes it work with Amiga. if a regular
  gotek dosen't work, you could try that too.

  I'd. prefer a SCSI based solution. like scsi2sd but on a s1000
  without a SCSI card, the gotek would be the best option.

  somebody should try it and tell us how it goes!
