Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Thanks for all the replies guys, very much appreciated!

think i'll deffo look into the internal scsi option if i can get one for a good price.
its a real shame as the unit has a scsi card already installed but i cant get it to read my zip or cd drives for some reason.

dont know if theres a solution to that issue but would welcome any further advice if its out there?
