Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I just got an old Apple 600e CD-ROM which has been quoted to work 
with the S1000 units. I have brand new SCSI 50 pin to 50 pin 
Centronics cables hooked up between the CD Rom and my S1000PB. I put 
a sample CD in that the guy I bought it from burned of the 4.40 
software and some samples on it and I can't get the damn thing to 
read it. I set the SCSI ID channels for the S1000 and CD Rom to 
different channels, like the manual said and it doesn't work. I read 
the manual and it doesn't help with SCSI utilies outside of Internal 
Hard Disk and SCSI MIDI functions. Is the S1000 supposed to 
automatically recognized the CD or do I have to go through another 
soft key menu? The guy I bought it from had the SCSI card installed 
and used it with a CD ROM and said the whole rig worked fine. I think 
I'm just screwing something up. Do I have to use a terminator on the 
CD ROM? I admit that I know squat about SCSI hardware. Could it be 
the CD or the SCSI card? I'm getting a factory Akai format CD of 
samples in the mail soon and I want to make sure I can load those 
samples.

Hi,

Have you set the harddisk channel? This should be the same as the scsi
channel set on the cdrom. Are you shure about the channel on the
cdrom. Easiest is to set to channel 0, then you just switch off all
dumb swithes (or if you have jumpers: do not insert a jumper).
Yes you need terminators, but if it is just for reading this is not so
important.

Have fun !

Rgds,

Frank
