Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I just bought one with 9megawords installed, but im not sure if the
unit is able to read 8mb boards that I just bought. What are ways that
I would know that it could address them, and also how would I make the
modification to make them able to read?

I hope this will help you to upgrade your memory... I have a Akai S1000
with 10 Megawords,,, memory  And SCSI Card http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/smem/8Meg.html

good luck Neil Weiher

I just installed 20Mb (10MW) in my S1100ex.

For me, it didn't recognize all the memory
until it was installed 2-8-8-2.

In other words 8-8-2-2 suggested below won't
work.  That comes up as 4Mb (2MW) (even with 
the jumpers set properly).  Also 2-2-8-8 is 
only seen as 18Mb (9MW).

It's tricky.
