RE: [sgroup] Internal SCSI device on the S-760?

I hadn't heard these rumors but since I developed some Internal Kits of other samplers I thought I'd look inside a S-760. 2 problems: There is no direct way (unless you are a ace solderer and really know what you are doing) to get the SCSI buss, since the output DB-25 is soldered directly to the mainboard. You'd either have to desolder and solder the whole jack, or you could make a custom ribbon cable to route back into the S-760 (ugly, but possible). The other issue is more severe. A internal ZipDrive is 6.5 inches deep. Roland used a fairly short-form floppy drive that is 4.5 inches deep. The power supply is right behind the floppy drive, so there is no room for the 6.5" deep ZipDrive, unless you relocated the power supply. That may be possible if you don't have the OP-1 video/digital stuff; if you do, it is not possible even if you are squishing things in there. You wind up short about .75 inch no matter how you squeeze it. There better solution to me is to just get a 1 rack space shelf, or a 1-2 rack space rack drive case. Since the S-760 is rack anyway, the only advantage of an Internal is the saving of at least 1 rack space. I sell Internal ZipKits for the Ensoniq ASR-10, and that is a huge advantage because one can take their ASR-10 around for gigs and truly fulfill what the writer didn't want: cables, and power supplies everywhere.
