The files you´re making floppies from are not the ones you need to burn eproms.
The files for the eproms are image-files.

S-1100 OS is not for S-1000

S-1100 is a complete different beast,- the best one IMO.
It sounds better because of the different converter boards incl. Burr-Brown converters for every single out and the both main outs L & R.
S-1000 multiplexes the single outs from the main outs, so a S-1000 has 2 converters only instead of 10 in the S-1100.

The S-1100 offers a AES/EBU digital main-out in addition to the ones of the optional IB-104 card.
S-1100 reads SMPTE and creates cue lists,- fires samples from cue list entrys while reading SMPTE.

If you compare the digital mainboard of a S-1000 and a S-1100, you´ll see these are different too.

It´s not only the FX-board which makes the difference between S-1100 and S-1000 !

So, NO S-1100 OS works in S-1000.

A floppy disk w/ higher OS inserted in the disk drive overrides the OS in the ROM temporary.

If you don´t want to change the eproms by what reason ever and if you use a SCSI harddrive, make sure you copy the latest OS ( which you actually use w/ floppy disk) to that harddrive.
If the drive is running while powering up the S-1000 already, the sampler reads the higher OS from the harddrive ( if recognized) and the older OS is overridden also in this case.

If you use several drives and exchange these occasionally, copy the OS to every harddrive.

The 4.4 Files i already have on my Harddisk. Therefrom i make the OS Disk.
I'm not to be able burn Eprom's. But, with no working S1000 im not Interested to do this (Pay Money or spend Time).
With the Rom's i mean, the two Chip's are labeled with different Gear Types, S1000 & S1100. If this an Problem? The 1100 have an Effect Unit, the S1000 not. So i Think, it's possible the Sound Probs are came from there. The OS attempt to Manage the DSP etc.?
But do the OS from Disk override all Eprom Data?

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
