Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi,

This is not a commercial posting, but I found this very interesting. 
I bought my S1100 with a display which I could hardly use. It was so 
dim. This company sells the backlights for the akai samplers. They 
are easy to install (if you not afraid of opening up your sampler 
case) and are not expensive ! http://www.backlights.co.uk/

Hi all
I too had a problem with a dim display on my 2nd hand akai s1000 and 
rate www.backlights.co.uk very highly. Easy to install if your handy 
with a soldering iron.

I currently am in the process of finishing off my sample packed scsi 
hard drive and am wondering if anyone might be interested in 
formated akai hard drives with or without samples on them. 
Ive recently bought 15 scsi drives (1.2 to 3.4 gig) and these are 
perfect for use with s1000 or s1100. If i get enough interest ill 
work out a price.

What kinda setups do you all have? Ive been experimenting with my 
s1000 and its scsi capabilitys and have now a system where i have an 
external cd rom drive, connected to the s1000 and to a pc scsi card. 
From here the pc holds my scsi hard drive which can be accessed by 
my s1000. 
Just incase anyone is stuck with transferring samples from pc to 
scsi, i found the only software to do it is recycle version 1.6.
Unfortunaty it will only run on windows 3.1 to 98 but transfers so 
fast compared to midi.
Here is a good site that explains s series and scsi -

Anyways keep up the good work with this group i think its great, if 
i find any more tips ill post them.

Thanks for your contribution. I just added the link you provided.

I was looking for these small scsi drives but bought a magneto 
optical drive from Fujitsu instead. But thee seems to be a problem 
with the scsi card in my S1100 (bought it second hand). The sampler 
can read the cdrom drive but doesn' format the MO drive. I think  the 
former owner removed the scsi cable while the sampler was still on. 
None of the terminator resistors are there. Normally repairing is not 
so difficult because there is just one chip on the PCB, but I cannot 
find it anymore. Perhaps if I can find an old PC scsi controller to 
get the IC from... Mutec sells a new controller for 100 Euro
