Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Thanks so much folks;)

But I am still confuse about type of SCSI cables connections, i've 
found one on ebay - 26 pin D port - is it telling you anything????
All I need (except other pleasures...) is confirmation - that ZIP 
will work fine with SCSI.
and by hte way - is AKAI 'see' ZIP as a HD ??? and how to connect 
everything???

sorry for my lame questions...... SCSI stuff is quite new for 
myself...


have a nice day gentelmans!
