Re: replacing the S1000 floppy drive

2004-06-07 by formals777

Nick,

Can't you ask help from a computer techie in your neigborhood?
But it's quit easy: at the back of the S1000 you find some screws.
Open the upper lid of the case. Now you need to remove the front
panel. You find the screws which keep the front panel in place at the
top and the bottom of the front panel. The floppy is screwed on a L
shaped plate. You can remove that plate when you have removed the
front of your S1000.
Placing the jumpes is straight forward as long as you have enough
jumers (those small plastic things with a piece of copper inside).
Somewhere at the back of the floppy drive you find a row of copper
pins. depending on the floppy make, every row has a label (like:
D0/D1, DC/RY,...). All instructions for placing the jumpers are on the
website you mentioned.

Rgds,
Frank

replace it with a PC floppy drive. I've read the article at
http://akaiscsifaq.digidude.net/akaifaq_floppy.htm and i've located
the position of the D0/D1 and DC/RY switches on my PC floppy drive,
but I'm not very technologically minded and don't know how to
physically switch them, and whether or not this will actually work
when i put it back into the sampler.
