Thanks for the reply... shame it wont work though.
Looking for a simple neat solution for large storage without external boxes/HD's, so
It would seem the only option to replace the floppy in the S760 would be to use one of the
internal CF-Card drives from Scsi for samplers
http://www.scsiforsamplers.com/cfcard.asp
Has anyone had success in using one of these with a S-760 or other Roland sampler?
I think im right in saying the max partition on a CF-Card in use with the S760 would be
600mb? But i could boot off the CF-Card...... only if there's a way of getting the OS
onto the CF-Card in the first place!?!!

Hope that helps - cheers!
