Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Frank G. and Robert F. helped me solve the problem: it
doesn't work on XP machines. I tried it on my old
Win98 PC and it worked! If you don't have access to
one, e-mail me your address and I'll send you an OS
floppy, free of charge of course.

i'm having the same problem with not being able to 
upgrade the OS;
the OSMAKER program just opens and closes (or dosn't
it work through
windows?) and the other os upgrade program just plays
with the disk
for ages but dosn't write anything (or at least it
won't read anything
on the s1000) it's so frustrating not being able to
upgrade! i'd be
greatful if anyone could help.

i lost my cursor knob... i'm using a paper clip at the
moment haha.
