Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Well, I've never really had to park the heads before - It's generally 
for when you've finished with the hard drive or Zip. bit like a record 
player, when the LP is finished the stylus pops up and moves back to 
its cradle.

Your SCSI is fine, When you pop in a unformatted Zip it should tell you 
that it needs to be formatted, follow the formatting instruction and 
you should be OK. There is a downloadable version of the manual on the 
Akai Pro site, that'll sort you out.

If your still having problems, it might be that your Zip disk if 
corrupted, does the protective slide move freely? or try reformatting 
the disk on your PC/Mac using the Iomega disk tools.
