Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi everybody ;)
I'm the one who was undecided between buying a s1100 or a s3000xl some 
time ago (some posts ago ;). Now I'm very very happy with my "new" 
(used) S3000XL! Thanks for your suggestions.
Now I'd like to ask.. Does anybody know where I can find the flash rom 
expansion (model FMX008)? It is really hard to find. I've found another 
one, not the original, from MUTEC and it costs around 100 EUR..Could I 
have some problems using this one instead of the original from AKAI?
Any experience?

THANK YOU!

Bye from Venice :)

Hi, the originals are still available at: 

http://www.crazyanalog.com/card.htm

Scroll to the bottom of the list for the FXM008....he has both new & 
used ones! I got my V4.30 eproms for my S1100 from him, so I can 
vouch for his speedy delivery & very good service! (His store is 
located in S.Korea...& I'm in the US)

I also noticed they have S-series rack ears, original Akai 
filterboards & other hard to find parts. Hope this helps!

Great site! 
Thank you very much!
Well, at the moment the FMX008 is not available in the list but I'm 
contacting them to ask for it.
Thanks, really an interesting site! (I love analog gear!)
Bye ;)
