Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi guys,

Apologies if a lot of this has already been answered, I've been trying to figure out how to use yahoo groups to not much success.

I just picked up my s1100 and I've been looking for the manual but can only seem to find a s1000 manual is this the one I should be reading?

I also need to replace the backlight in the screen (the screen itself is perfect). Is this a difficult task? I'm pretty accomplished with a soldering iron so I'm not too worried but what's the exact part I need?

The floppy drive is also buggered and needs replacing although I was considering just changing it for a CF card reader (I've seen some kits on eBay). Is there any specific floppy drive I need to replace it?

Lastly I was just wondering how can you check how much memory a s1100 has and if it has the fx board or the double polyphony board.

Thank you so much!

HiI'm not really sure about the FDD emulator to work flawlessly on our Akais. The S1000 and S1100 doesn't work with a PC FDD right out of the box without any modifications. I've seen, although, work very well with old Commodore Amiga FDD instead.Since this FDD emulator is designed to replace a PC FDD, it seems to be that will work on any device that uses DOS file format, that's not our case.Fortunately, solutions arise. With a little modification, this emulator can be set to work on our samplers.First, a firmware update on the FDD emulator has to be made, and changing jumpers prior to test.I've not done it yet, but if your Akai has more than 1Mword of RAM you should consider getting a SCSI storage option, be it a CF card or a SD to SCSI device (this is the option surely i'll go for, cheap and reliable : http://shop.codesrc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=58)Be aware that if you'll go for the CF route, NOT all the cards are compatible with the Akai. The reason is that our samplers were designed to work with either a CD ROM or a HDD, and they expect the speed of the card be the same of the CD ROM attached to the SCSI bus. You should go for a card that has a 233x speed.Regards

If I go the cf card reader as long as I get 233x speed will any sized card work (say 32GB)?

Also the SD to SCSI you linked me, how exactly would I install that?  What other parts would I need?

Thank you very much for all the help!

Hi Robin
It's a matter of trial and error regarding the CF size. As a rule of thumb, since our Akais don't recognize any HDD beyond 512 MB (if i'm certain), it's a waste of space anything more than 1GB.For the SD to SCSI you only need your sampler to be fitted with the SCSI card IB-103 (if there is not already fitted).There are somo cards that only have the external SCSI connector, this is, if you're going to fit the SD card inside, will not serve the purpose.I personally prefer fitting the SD to SCSI adaptor inside an external SCSI CD or HDD case, this way you'll be able to use it in other samplers simply changing the SD card. 
In this case, you treat the adapter like an external HDD, with no need to fiddle inside the guts of your Akai finding a suitable power source and a suitable place inside. Some people use a modified FDD faceplate and put the adaptor inside. That way, you'll be able to change the SD card without opening the sampler.

Quick last question

What cable will I need to plug them together?

I’m guessing 50 pin male to 50 pin female scsi but just wanted to double check

If i'n not in doubt, male-male connector. The back of the Akai has a female connector, so the back of an external enclosure. Check with the provider of the enclosure what connector will it fit.

     Quick last question
What cable will I need to plug them together?
I’m guessing 50 pin male to 50 pin female scsi but just wanted to double check
Cheers!

 Cheers Mario had a good read about SCSI and ended up buying the scsi2sd, I'm going to get a little enclosure - there's some cool 3D printed options online for those interested but they use the 25db adapter so I messaged this person and they're going to make me a custom 50 pin one: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/271099755/scsi2sd-35-external-case-housing?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=scsi2sd&ref=sr_gallery_1

 Hi Robin
It's a matter of trial and error regarding the CF size. As a rule of thumb, since our Akais don't recognize any HDD beyond 512 MB (if i'm certain), it's a waste of space anything more than 1GB.For the SD to SCSI you only need your sampler to be fitted with the SCSI card IB-103 (if there is not already fitted).There are somo cards that only have the external SCSI connector, this is, if you're going to fit the SD card inside, will not serve the purpose.I personally prefer fitting the SD to SCSI adaptor inside an external SCSI CD or HDD case, this way you'll be able to use it in other samplers simply changing the SD card. 
In this case, you treat the adapter like an external HDD, with no need to fiddle inside the guts of your Akai finding a suitable power source and a suitable place inside. Some people use a modified FDD faceplate and put the adaptor inside. That way, you'll be able to change the SD card without opening the sampler.
