AW: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] AKAI S1100 V4.3 Operating System upgrade problem

2008-06-26 by Ullrich Peter

Hi!

Have a look at the end of this page: http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/smem/

Here is the V4.3 ZIP for the S1100. And you also find the eprom images!

Remember that with the disk you have to load the V4.3 every time from the disk which is very slow...
When you burn eprom and change them you load the OS from the eprom which is much faster!

So there is no update posibility that updates you OS version like on the newer machines as the S1000/S1100
use eproms and no flash memories!!!

Ciao
Peter

You can purchase the OS discs or even the OS ROMs for both the AKAI
s1000 and the s1100 from www.Route66studios.com  They also have some
parts for the S900

upgrade problem



Hello. I own an S1100 with its original operative system (1.36) and I

would like to upgrade to 4.3. I downloaded the update file from the

akai website (the one that asks for a blank diskette) but I really

can't be able to make it work... I tried it in Windows XP, 95 (MS-DOS

prompt) and various versions of DOS but the program always quits

saying "Diskette error - try another" whatever disk format or density

I use, both formatted in DOS and in AKAI format with the S1100 itself

and also with Akaidisk. Not to mention that I tried with 10 different

floppy disks...

Did anyone else experienced this problem?

Is there any sysex version of OS 4.3 so I can upgrade via midi?

Thanks

David
