Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

terminators are either resistor packs that fit onto a circuit board,
or and external "useless plug" with no cable, but maybe a passthrough
connector.
on more modern SCSI devices you might find a switch to enable
termination or even automatic termination.

its quite likely that you cdrom has internal termination

you are right,  SCSI ID 5 is the default place to load an OS from.
the s1k samplers can only speak to one SCSI drive at a time. the hdisk
subpage of the disk page lets you change the SCSI ID that the sampler
is trying to talk to. but this is reset to ID5 on startup
you can also eject a CD/Zip by choosing PARK. in the hdisk page.
although it is designed for turning of harddisks nicely.

if it works then don't change anything though!


one thing to remember is that after changing cdroms you need to try
accessing the cdrom drive a few times before it gets read sucrssfully.
its perfectly normal on my setup anyway.

ewan.
