Akai S20: Broken Floppy?

Hi! I've just found an AKAI S20 (this: http://www.vintagesynth.com/akai/s20.php ) on ebay. All works but it doesn't read or write or floppy disk. I've made several S1000 floppys as in this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqJ7jMtN5W8 . But the answer of the machine it's always "noFo". I've tried to format a floppy with the S20: it starts and after a little of time it says ERR.

Other things are ok, it can sample, playbanck, edit ecc ecc.

Is the floppy brocken or I am doing something wrong?
If it's broken can I change it with another standard floppy drive?
And wath about a usb floppy emulator like this on ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... K:MEWAX:IT )

Thank you

not sure of the specifics, but...



it may be the same replacement floppy as the akai remix16...



just another thing to check into if your stumped...

i'm sure you could install a floppy emulator in it as long as you know what the jumper settings need to be...

an old standard pc floppy drive will not work ?

and...how can i know informations about pins?

any news?

I got a 2000 classic laying around in parts...its actually dopedees but I dont think he would mind selling you the floppy drive if it's compatible
