Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi,

I'm new to the list and have been reading through the archives. I 
have an identical problem with my S1000 at the moment as well.  If it 
helps i'm using ver 4.4 of the OS.

Even more strange is the following. I have 1 8mb card in the machine. 
When I boot under OS 4.4 it only shows 4mb available. When I boot 
from the OS ver 1 on the EPROM then it shows the full 10mb available. 
Am I missing something obvious?

If none of these problems are fixable are there any S1000 for sale in 
Northern California? specifically the SF Bay area? Thanks!

Jonathon
