So, where I can get either wavs (without actually having to sample the hardware) or actual vst’s with a complete collection of 808, 909 and other types?
You can get the now free Rebirth RB-338 from the Rebirth Museum, it’s got 808 and 909. Then there’s the Drumatic VSTi’s from E-Phonic, free also.
Why oh why there isn’t a mac-version. These would be so nice to have 
Maybe these links will help:
