Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi all,

I have os version 4.3 permanently stored to all my zip 100 disks and some of my floppies but since I got an eprom burner I'd like to prepare some OS rom chips for my S1100 in order to set and forget the whole operating system copy procedure.

There images for the S1000 in the files section of the group but no images for S1100.

If anyone could be kind enough to upload v. 4.3 rom images for the S1100 it would be great!

Thanks:)

if I remember correctly you can find them on the website of the Guy
who makes the 32 MB ram cards for the s1000 (firstprinciples. au or
something) anyway its the same Guy who makes the devilfish tb303 mods.

I did this on a s1000, its a great timesaver.

the flea market.  you can find them on ebay too.

So for my S1100 should I go with 27c512 or 27c1010?!

I'll check my spares box but I don't think I have 512 so I could go with 1010 and just write the upper part.
I didn't quite understand if these are interchangeable so I think it's safer to use the same as the originals (they're 1010 aren't they?) and follow akai's odd method..
