Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Jahn-Otto,

- All S1100 have HD recording, it is possible that HD recording was
not supported in early versions.
- Normally there is no problem to mount an internal HD in the S1100.
It's just my Mutec which seems to have a problem with the internal
SCSI port. Its already the second scsi card which has problems. Time
to buy a new one? (more than 100$)
The most difficult part of mounting a HD internally is to make an
L-shaped support, or some other solution. You could even screw it on
the top lid of the case. 
- Your solution with using a drive for both A500 and S1100 is risky if
you want to use these samplers at the same time. Hotplugging a scsi
cable causes your scsi card to blow up! Thats perhaps one of the
reasons why there are so many s1000's with a bad scsi card.

Rgds,

Frank

a hassle). So now I'm thinking of an alternative. Since I allready
have a Yamaha A5000 wich has it's own SCSI chain with an external HD
and Zip-drive, I was hoping I would be able to connect the Zip-drive
to the S1100 in adition to the A5K. And when I had to use the Zip with
the S1100, I would just un-mount it from the A5K (and vica-verca).
