Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I can't believe it either!
I have the s1100 and I finally got a PC (Windows = YUCK!) and a ton of SCSI stuff (PCI card) 
but I'm actually thinking about going back to the MPC 1000 just because it's so easy to 
transfer samples between it and my mac! (USB port and card reader)

Unfortunately, http://scsiforsamplers.com/ is out of business,
I was going to buy an external SCSI Card Reader box for my s1100..
