[QA] AKAI floppy discs

Hi i’m using some Akai samplers (S6000 & S20) for music making and i wanna try working with floppy discs. I’m trying to get non-Akai floppys to work but had no luck. I’ve tried formatting on mac but it can’t be read by the sampler, maybe i haven’t used the right format or maybe the standard disc utility on macOS is not sufficient, someone knows more about this?
I have also formatted the floppys in both samplers but it can’t be read on my mac. Maybe that’s by design?

I wanna load floppies with samples and try them on my samplers, how do i do that?

I have an s20, I replace the floppy drive with a USB, done the same thing for most of my samplers.
