Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi everyone.  I am new to the forum, and have a quick question, 
please.  

I just won an Akai S1000HD on Ebay, and it should arrive in a few 
days.  The amount of RAM in this unit is currently 16MB.  I wonder 
where I can purchase the RAM expansion cards to fill it up to the max. 
(I think it's 32MB)

Thanks for your help...  Gary

Hi Gary

The S1000s have four slots for proprietary Akai
memory boards. These boards are 4 meg each so
you're maxed out at 16 meg. You can install four
8 meg boards to get a full 32 meg but I believe
you have to make a modification to the
motherboard first. You can get the boards from
here but they're expensive:

I've also seen them come up on ebay from time to
time so it may be worth checking there. Good
luck.

Sorry, - that\ufffds wrong.
Regular cards are 2MB or 8MB size for S1000/S1100.

So, - if his S1000 OS shows 16MB (8 megawords) of RAM installed, - there 
could be 2x 8MB cards inside or 2x 2MB cards and 1x 8MB cards.
These are the only possible combinations of cards coming up w/ 16 MB (8 
megawords).

If the OS shows 16 megawords, - then there are 32MB of RAM installed by 4x 
8MB cards which would be the max already.

So, - it\ufffds absolutely necessary not to mix up megabytes and megawords and 
the possible combinations of installed cards inside a S1000/S1100.
Turn o the machine again and see what your display shows in MEGAWORDS, - is 
it really 16 then ?

Right !

>You can get the boards from

These are not 8MB boards, - it\ufffds one 32 MB board which replaces 4 pieces of 
8MB boards !!!

Yes, - but before looking for 4x 8MB cards,- he\ufffdd better open his S1000HD to 
look for what\ufffds really  built in.
If there\ufffds one or two 8MB boards installed already, - modification of 
digital board is obsolete \ufffdcause it\ufffds already done, - in addition, he\ufffdd need 
only 2 or 3 8MB boards then !

And yes, that's a *very* good idea.
