I have a yamaha a4000, after a bit of struggle I got it working with 
SMDItools (http://nolv.free.fr/SMDITools/) but then I changed my main
machine and dropped the scsi board :)

However, it worked fine.

I have only experience with that...
There was also a windows program that worked with wine, but was never
really able to communicate with the sampler (I didn't try very hard, and
it was a lot of time ago, maybe wine now has better MIDI support)

AKAI samplers might have better support though (and a more vast library)
