Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

If I go the cf card reader as long as I get 233x speed will any sized card work (say 32GB)?

Also the SD to SCSI you linked me, how exactly would I install that?  What other parts would I need?

Thank you very much for all the help!

> I've not done it yet, but if your Akai has more than 1Mword of RAM you should consider getting a SCSI storage option, be it a CF card or a SD to SCSI device (this is the option surely i'll go for, cheap and reliable : http://shop.codesrc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=58)
> Be aware that if you'll go for the CF route, NOT all the cards are compatible with the Akai. The reason is that our samplers were designed to work with either a CD ROM or a HDD, and they expect the speed of the card be the same of the CD ROM attached to the SCSI bus. You should go for a card that has a 233x speed.
