Akai S900 Version 4 Boot
Akai S900 Version 4 Boot
The Akai S900 has the option to boot from disk to a 4.0 operating system. It basically makes it have all the functions of an s950. Is there a way to create an image to boot from disk? Since I can't save the operating system I can only load it. Is this possible? If so how?

Please see the software manual page 14.

Re: Akai S900 Version 4 Boot
I've got a Gotek drive emulator running HxC. It runs fine in my S900 in all respects but one - auto load (and thus booting version 4) doesn't work. The S900 does auto load from the original FDD drive.
Also, is there a way to convert an HD floppy image to an SD image (provided there is sufficient free space left)?
Thanks!

I've tried every combination in terms of software and jumpers now, I can't get it to work.

Man that blows. Makes me wish I never got rid of my s950.

Me, too, I had two of those. But I think the S900 sounds a little better, more definition. Hope we can get this to work somehow.SKRYPTRS wrote:Man that blows. Makes me wish I never got rid of my s950.

Any luck on an auto load work around for booting OS4?
Re: Akai S900 Version 4 Boot
I'm interested in this Autoload as well. 1.2 has the filter accessible anyway but if I can't use OS 4 then I won't be able to use my old disks.

OS 4 image added to the S900 package :
