I went zip with my EMU Ultra.
You can get 2 (they are pretty cheap on ebay) just one scsi and one USB or
even parallel (if you system has a parallel port on it) Then I just swap
sounds via a zip disk to the internal HD of the Ultra. (I know it's not a
Roland but same concept) I'm sure whatever PC you are using will have a USB
port. Or you can share it via a network share.

Good luck,

Why though? I suppose you are thinking that it gives you access to all types of USB drive methods (SSD, large capacity, etc.) but it's doubtful the S-760 would even recognize such devices. The thought that a SCSI->USB would provide interference between the two is asking a lot.
The S-760 remains in the "other" millennium. =)
>I have a micropolis drive model 3243AV, (inside an enclosure) and it seems to be having some problems. Do I need to replace this internal drive with the exact same drive or do I have options that you know of?
It doesn't have to be the same. Find a fixed SCSI drive on eBay, stay within 4GB or so, taht way you can be fairly sure you aren't getting "beyond" the S-760. Then just replace the drive.

Great

When you say "would work", are you talking about attaching a USB drive to your S-760? No, this does the reverse, connects a SCSI Drive to a USB-outfitted computer.
