Re: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] s1000 Floppy issues

2009-02-14 by Andrew Halsall

Hi there
Thanks for the info.
Am I right in thinking that AKAI floppy drives are specific hardware to the system then and that generic pc floppy drives will not work? That maybe why i'm having problems
As for the scsi card. No the s1000 I was given doesn't have a scsi drive or hdd so weighing up the costs it is perhaps not the best of ideas to be spending much money when I could perhaps purchase a s2000 with 8 outs and memory for less than £100

cheers anyway 
I will have to do a bit of budgeting

Andy
      Sounds like your 
Floppy drive is shot, I too have the KBS1000 but I converted the floppy drive to 
a ZIP 100 drive. I can set you up with the correct items to make 
the change, do you have SCSI? You will have to send your SCSI card to www.Route66studios. com for the SCSI 
card update, they alos have the KBS1000 4.40 ver eproms.
