The binaries provided had a confusing naming scheme, so they have been changed to match the labels on the ROMs that come in the S1000. Also, the two firmware ROMs were not backed up so i have added images of those. The below readme is in its original format, except i added the arrows noting which files were renamed what.

-------------------







The two binary files here have been read from two 27512 EPROMs. 

They contain the version 4.4 firmware for the Akai S1000 sampler.

4.4 is the final version for the S1000.


   S1K-44LO.EPR     IC9    <- renamed LSB
   S1K-44HI.EPR     IC10   <- renamed MSB

I don't know anything directly about S1000 software, but I have 
been told that:

*  Version 2.2 included "timestretch".

*  Version 4.3 could read and write S3000 format disks. (Floppy,
   I guess, but maybe on hard disk and CD-ROM?)
