Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

The trouble is normally that your PC is too new. I tried 4 computers and got a result in a 
W95 equipped laptop which once rebooted in DOS would create the disk required. The 
disk is a 1.44 floppy which you shouldn't bother to format as I recall, just run the exe file 
you downloaded by copying onto the C: drive in the antique PC. Windows 98SE didn't work 
for me, or anything newer.
Top tip: Once you get it working, make 2 or three copies while you're there, and put one in 
with your passport or birth certificate, as once you get the new features you won't want to 
go back. I have a couple of spares, I'm in London W10 if that would help., Computer Hell is 
character building though.
