Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Great! Thanks for the help. Can't wait to get home and try it. After trying windows 98 2000 and xp not having any joy this seems like a logical and hopefull solution. 
For the group I will reply with a result

Once again thanks and all the best with your musical journey
