Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi Rish

its a possibility i agree but i cant think what as its a pretty straight forward procedure.
i've followed the instructions laid out in the manual just in case.
i have the channels as they should and the connections as they should yet the sampler will still not recognise the drive.

to add, i've just hooked my roland sampler up and the zip drive shows up on that no problems.

like i say, i think the issue may be with the SCSI port as i cant think of anything else?

is this fixable or is it a case of finding a replacement?

Thanks
