AKAI S1100 V4.3 Operating System upgrade problem

AKAI S1100 V4.3 Operating System upgrade problem

2008-06-23 by lesfauves83

Hello. I own an S1100 with its original operative system (1.36) and I
would like to upgrade to 4.3. I downloaded the update file from the
akai website (the one that asks for a blank diskette) but I really
can't be able to make it work... I tried it in Windows XP, 95 (MS-DOS
prompt) and various versions of DOS but the program always quits
saying "Diskette error - try another" whatever disk format or density
I use, both formatted in DOS and in AKAI format with the S1100 itself
and also with Akaidisk. Not to mention that I tried with 10 different
floppy disks...
Did anyone else experienced this problem?
Is there any sysex version of OS 4.3 so I can upgrade via midi?
Thanks
David

You can purchase the OS discs or even the OS ROMs for both the AKAI 
s1000 and the s1100 from www.Route66studios.com  They also have some 
parts for the S900

Hi!

Have a look at the end of this page: http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/smem/

Here is the V4.3 ZIP for the S1100. And you also find the eprom images!

Remember that with the disk you have to load the V4.3 every time from the disk which is very slow...
When you burn eprom and change them you load the OS from the eprom which is much faster!

So there is no update posibility that updates you OS version like on the newer machines as the S1000/S1100
use eproms and no flash memories!!!

Ciao
Peter

I'm in the UK, but I do have an EPROM programmer that will do the large EPROMs used in the Akais. I chipped up one of my 3000s a while ago.
If you can't get one elsewhere, let me knwo: I'll do it for cost and postage.
Best wishes
Mike

Re: AKAI S1100 V4.3 Operating System upgrade problem

2008-06-30 by taskoni

Hi folks.
I just bought S1000...I bought also internal Hard drive for it. I read in the manual that I 
can save the latest OS (4.4) on a HD and after that it will be loading it automatically from 
there instead to load floppy diskette all the time... Is that true? Or I need eprom chip?
Many thanks,
Bobby

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
