Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

A friend of mine owns an S-1100 with a defective floppy disk drive and I 
want to help him replace it.

I've asked around and searched the web, but so far haven't found much 
information about this, so I'm wondering if someone here knows which 
drives are compatible with the S-1100, or if it's somehow possible to 
modify a standard PC type disk drive?

Hallvard,

Welcome to the list.
Please do a search on the messages on this list. I remember, we have 
had that discussion before. A good article about a replacement floppy 
drive can be found at: http://akaiscsifaq.digidude.net/ (can be found 
in the links section of this website).

Please let us know the results. 
Your friend is welcome to participate in our contest. If you have 
more questions, do not hesitate to contact us. 

Regards,

Frank

(I'm sorry if this message comes up twice -I sent it a few days ago, but 
it never showed up in the group, so I'm trying again)

The info in the link that was given in previous response has all the 
jumper settings you need.

I had the exact same thing happen & found a computer shop locally 
that will take in old pcs & have "pulls" of drives from them. Just 
ask for a "jumpered floppy drive that can send the ready signal out 
line 34". They had a ChinonFZ-357 dated '94 that was from an old pc. 
Paid $10 for it, changed 2 jumpers & I was back in business! Hope 
that helps.

Yes, I know. But most PC drives these days don't have jumpers any longer.
The drive 1/drive 0 (master/slave) issue is no problem -I've done this 
myself, modifying a standard Sony PC drive for use with an Atari ST.
It's usually a zero-Ohm resistor and marked "DS" (drive select) as far 
as I can remember on the circuit board.

Is the "RDY" (ready) signal usually marked on most PC floppy drives so 
they can be modified even if there isn't any jumper available?

Go on Google and type : TEAC FD-235HF (its him ).
Some shops in Germany have them

and i had a similar issue with jumper-less new pc disk drives. 
couldn't find one with jumpers anywhere, even on old pre-pentium 
computers.
