Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Jahn-Otto,

I didn't try it yet, but there is a connector on the motherboard which
can be used for the power supply of the hard drive. You will need to
make that cable yourself but it can't be hard to make. Next you'll
need a scsi flatcable and an L-shaped metal plate. This can be screwed
next to the plate holding the floppy drive. 
This is what I could see on the pictures I got from the inside of the
akai S1100 HD. Do this only if you have a basic knowledge of
electronics. There is a risk of damaging the power supply of your
S1100 if the power supply cable is not made properly. First check the
voltages. The name of the connector on the motherboard is P125.
Let me know if this works. If I can find a small scsi drive I will try
to do the same.

Regards,

Frank

attached innside so that I can connect as is, or do I need to buy one
separatly. If so, what kind of cable do I need?
