There are a few sample sets out there with the sounds from the Linn Drum, google around a bit. I know that Guru has a set of Linn Drum samples. Problem being there were a lot of ways you could tweak the sample sounds on the Linn Drum, so it's hard for any sample set to really give you the full range of what a Linn Drum could do.
I doubt Justin was programming any drums on that record. And Prince was openly noted as an influence for the album.
