Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi,

Have you set the harddisk channel? This should be the same as the scsi
channel set on the cdrom. Are you shure about the channel on the
cdrom. Easiest is to set to channel 0, then you just switch off all
dumb swithes (or if you have jumpers: do not insert a jumper).
Yes you need terminators, but if it is just for reading this is not so
important.

Have fun !

Rgds,

Frank
