Not certain where to put this, but I recently was given for free an Akai S2000 Sampler, a SCUSbee SCSI > USB interface, Recycle and a SCSI Zip Drive.

Aha, lucky me.

The problem is, I can't get the whole lot to work together. The only download I can find for the apparently required Mesa application is the one on the Akai website (from this page) which downloads an .ins file which I have no idea how to run (the application defaults to open with the OSX version of Recycle, but the application refuses to open. The OS9 version of Recycle does open, but it claims the file is invalid).

Could someone please hook me up with a decent download of Mesa as I can't find the bloody thing anywhere.

Just for reference, I'm running a 1.9 GHz iMac G5 mkII with Classic Support installed.

it's a self contained installer that should run in classic only (it's old old old…); I can see it a stuffit installer maker app for classic.

Note that you'll be lucky if all this works (a nightmare for Akai users for quite some time now)

Keep us informed!
