http://www.sonicspot.com/akaidisk/akaidisk.htmlAkaiDisk lets your PC read and write samples on Akai floppy disks. It works with all S-Series samplers from the S900 to the S3200xl. It works with DOS and Windows 3.1, 95 but not NT. On recent Windows versions like ME and XP, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on your computer and floppy drive, so if you have problems try to find an older PC to run AkaiDisk on. The Windows version requires vbrun300.dll (224k) in your \windows\system folder.

Last weekend I picked up a used Akai S2000 Sampler for $20 bucks and thought I’d have some fun with it.

Ok this is an issue. If you scan the net most people is telling that you need AKAIDISK. And most people is telling one needs Win98 too
WRONG!
You can read/write Akai S900 disks with Omniflop, and it works flawlessly under XP. (actually ONLY XP is supported!) (EDIT 02/18/2010: Omniflop 2.2c has been reported to work with Vista)
WHAT YOU NEED:
PC with floppy drive (not USB!)
Registered Onmiflop program (it's free)
AKAI S900/s950
Floppies (Modern HDs work ok, just put some tape on the HD hole...)
Samples
Patience :)

NiceWave was a piece of software written in my spare time around 1998. After my experience working on PC to Akai sampler software, I decided to experiment and produce something for the public domain. It's presented here for those who may find it useful. It's released into the public domain. It comes with no other documentation, support or warranty. Enjoy.
