If the linked to "USB floppy drive emulator" had of worked, i'd have
needed to get the Roland OS onto a USB stick so as to boot from. The
drive only uses USB memory sticks, and I no longer have my CF-Card
reader as i sold it some time ago.
The only possible internal option to investigate would be one of the
internal CF-Card drives.

Again there's still the problem of getting the OS onto a CF card.
When i did have my CF-card drive, this was easy as i just copied the
OS from the S760 floppy drive to the external CF drive and set to
boot from that. Once you remove the S760 floppy drive and replace it
with an internal CF drive you're stuffed!!! (unless to use
"translator" as pointed out)
Translator solves the problem. This facility is in the Free version,
so if you don't want to purchase the program you don't have to.
I wouldn't have counted on all these exotic solutions such as
USB-floppy-Wendys-McDonalds-Burger King emulators. Getting a
compatible CF card reader/writer is hard enough; if you had one,
stick with it. Otherwise, I've always liked ZipDrives, they are
compatible, ubiquitous, reliable, and flexible.

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.
USB != S-7x. Forget it. Just use the SCSI CF-Card Reader, why do
you need the USB stick? The S-7x is SCSI.
