Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

if it's booting up then it should try to read the disk even if your
floppy drive is broken. that's a fairly good indicator of how well
your s1000 is doing, since loading the OS from floppy is the last
thing the Rom OS does.

I'm pretty sure the s1000 LCD is a standard type, not an impossible to
find custom lcd like the mpc2000, I can't remember the model though,
it's likely marked on the LCD itself or you might find more info in
the service manual.

I have to replace my backlight, so I'll. be trying to find a cheap
replacement.  I'll. post anything interesting to the list.
