One additional thing to try :

Request a custom firmware with the "Non gated mode" option set :

To be more specific :
- Go to this page : https://hxc2001.com/custom_fw/
- Set the "Non gated mode" option.
- fill your email address and send the request.
- you will receive an new UPD file by email - Update the firmware with this new firmware.
Please note that there is no need to reflash the whole bootloader and firmware ! This is is just an update ! So just follow this procedure :

Hi,
tried the QuickInstall images for S900950 as well with no luck. It only reads the first image. For the others I get a NO DISK message. For the first as well I get Bad floppy disk error.

EDIT: just read the two last messages. Will do that asap.

Have taken this step you suggested and it definitely helps. However I remain with a few problems and have noticed that my sampler has an old OS v1.36 (newest is v4.3) so I will have to check that. Does anyone have the OS file on hand? I can only find programmed EPROMs and I only need the OS file. Hardware tests all run OK, 5MWords fitted.

It also hangs up on loading S900 S950 samples in the unscrambling step.

I get a lot of non-deterministic behavior when loading and it never gets to the end of loading an entire volume and ends with Bad floppy disk error.
