Just wondering if it's possible to remove the floppy drive from an S-760 and to replace it with a USB drive like this?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Upgrade-3-floppy-drive-USB-flash-drive-/170549507064?…
It seems to be a drop in replacement for any floppy drive, but i could be wrong?
Only problem i can think of would be to get the Roland OS on a USB memory stick. When I did have an external "SCSI for Samplers CF-drive", if i put a Roland format CF card into my Mac, it'd complain it could not read the CF-card, and i was unable to read or write to the card. So following on from that, to get the Roland S-760 OS on to a USB stick, i could not do it via my Mac.
Thanks!
Ordered such a SCSI lead earlier. Hopefully the Zip drive and lead should arrive at the same time.

Wonderful piece of software by the way,total respect,I
bet you are selling hundreds of licences for this these days,
I would purchase this myself if I hadn't got the sack recently.....

Can't agree with you more,why make things difficult,
Adaptec SCSI card,Zip drive,works with any old sampler
and PC

I am selling my monitor since my S-750 died and I have yet to replace it. I am located in Florida and I am asking $25 + shipping, or local pickup would be great.
This is a magnavox re-branded monitor with a silver roland strip across the front. It works as both an RGB or monochrome.
