Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Does the SD card need to be Akai-formatted? 




Bad card? (I doubt it, but you might test it on something else.)

Compatible card? Most cards are today.  
Reputable brand/manuf?

Just a very brief checklist here. Please let us know if anything changes.

Hi!
I've got the scsi2sd connected to the SCSI card. I converted my centronics 50pin cable to have IDC connection on the scsi2sd end. It's a bit rough connection but my multimeter said every connection should work properly.



When I start the s1000 some lights blink one the scsi2sd so it should atleast start and get power through the SCSI connections, but when trying to format the SD-card from the Akai it says "hard disk drive not ready". Where can I start to approach the problem?
