Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi Rish,

not much mate, the floppy is dead for sure and the when i hook my zip drive up to the scsi port it keeps coming up as "hard disk drive not ready" or "no disk" and wont allow me to read/format the zips as a result.
when i press the disk button the zip drive tries to read the disc but fails.
i have tried a number of different discs and a different drive and the same thing occurs.

i am fairly new to this unit but i have read the manual and followed the directions and it appears the scsi port has an issue.

do you agree?
