Has anyone experimented with using memory cards with a
SCSI card
reader on the Roland S-series? This is an s760.
I have tried it with 2 SCSI card readers with a PCMCIA card to
Compact Flash adaptor and 32 m CF card and no luck. :(
Sampler cannot format the cards, so they can't be written to.
I'm wondering if this is hopeless, or if I should try to get an
actual PCMCIA memory card to try, thus eliminating the adaptor/CF
card variable.
I don't mean to sound offensive, but why even bother with doing this?
As Bernie said, 32Mb is not a lot of memory, apart from other considerations.
I use a SCSI Zip drive and the 100Mb disks get filled up in no time at all.
I remember that Roland issued a list way back of compatible SCSI
drives and devices, but I doubt if media such as Compact Flash via
SCSI would make any sense to the Roland OS on the S760. You'd
probably be better off looking at a different solution altogether.
Just lateral thinking - sorry I can't be more specifically helpful.
