Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi Rish.

got my internal zip today and have been looking on line for the "50 pin IDE thru board header" you mentioned but i cant for the life of me find what it is.
there seems to be so much under that term its left me confused.
if its not to much trouble can you send me a link to the product please?

im off on holiday on monday and was hoping to get this up and running before then tho its not looking likely!

Many Thanks
Neil

Then you will need about a 20in 50 pin IDE cable with ends on it, that will allow you plug in your new internal drive. Make sure you have it plugged in the correct direction pin 1 stripe on cable. If you make a mistake with the cable it won't damage anything but won't work correctly.
