to quote Chris Crosskey:
=> My S750 has come with several OS disks up to version 1.06. WHat is the
=> latest (or best if different) OS for the S750 and can anyone in

=> round this evening with the unit to copy the disk ....
Last release was 2.25 - it is available from
http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/archive/os/S770/
But you'll need to figure out how to use sdisk/sdiskw or unix dd to
reconstitute it to a floppy. Dunno whether sdiskw will work with a USB
floppy tho. Suspect sdisk (DOS) won't although it might... dd will
definitely work.
=> laptop doesn't have an onboard floppy..... aslo is there a hack to put an

I think the space that would be occupied by the disk on an S770 is
available in the S750. Don't recall whether there is a spare power cable
(or port) or whether the SCSI bus also has an internal connector. I
suspect you'll be better off putting the card reader in an internal box,
but, open up and let us all know how you got on. :-)
The OS might not be comfortable with a card reader, but I suppose if it
advertises itself as a disk, it should be OK.
=> Am I right in thinking that as long as I change the ID on one of the

=> don't simultaneously try to access it?...
Yep, that should work. I don't see why you couldn't access (for read at
least) a drive from more than one device. The SCSI protocol (I think)
should permit this as I think it is stateless? Someone more versed in SCSI
might be able to confirm/deny.

Nic.
