S 1000 SCSI Problems

2006-05-25 by mircoland

Hi all,

Several monthes ago I purchased from Canada a second hand S1000.
In the transoceanic shipping it should have received some shocks and
actually the back of the unit arrived a bit "bumped".

At the beginning the display was dark but even worse it was not
writing anything.
After replacing the backlight and some twisting of the flat cables it
came back like new.

Now the problem is the corruption of samples when loading from SCSI.
I tried different SCSI cables, different CD ROM drives and also a JAZ
drive, but the problem is always the same:
the samples get corrupted when loaded, but are WRITTEN CORRECTLY to
the JAZ drive via SCSI.
When I load from floppies everything is OK, then I save those samples
to the JAZ drive and they are OK (I checked the JAZ disk with a S3000XL).
If I read back from the JAZ they get corrupted (clicks/glitches in the
samples, one or two clicks per sample).
I unplugged/repugged the SCSI card, I changed the order of the RAM
boards but still the result is the same.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!

M.
