Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I tried direct-disk recording with a Jazz Drive and
still had no luck. I also tried the formatting
technique mentioned at the end of this article
thinking perhaps it wanted the partition size to be
setup a certain way:

This article is the only info I've found for this
feature. Anyone know of another source of information?
BTW, I'm using OS v. 4.30. 

Thanks,

Mike Wolak
