Re: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] CD-ROM drives

Hi Peter !

Did you test a Plextor 12/20 max 40 w/ a S-1000 or S-1100 sampler ?

I never got any CD-ROM drive faster than 2x /4x to work w S-1xxx samplers.
Have to mention I never testet a 8x speed one because I never owned one,- but I know it never worked w/ a 32x speed drive.

Syquest 200MB SCSI,- do these also write on 44/88MB media or read only ?

I have 44 and 88MB drives and media,- 88MB drive can "use" 44MB media but read only.
So, the question is what "usage" means w/ 200 / 270 MB drives.

thx for the add. akai drive link

Syquest 200MB SCSI drives (5 ΒΌ\u201d) \u2013 they can also use the 44 and 88MB media

For cdrom drives for samplers I prefer using Plextor UltraPlex drives 12/20, 20max, 40max

Like this one http://www.onlinetechexpress.com/media/00/a20792b1248d226075bb09_m.JPG

A very nice overview of compatible drives can be loaded from here:
