Hi,
I sold my s750 some time ago (and got myself an A3000). As i have done it
now (and as you should be able to do as well) is to use a Compact flash
device on my A3000. It will work since it identifies itself as a removable
drive (i.e a "zip"). For this to work, i bought a IDE->scsi convertor card
and a pcmcia-card reader which i connected to the internal scsi port (the
S750 does not have any internal scsi connector). I guess that you could
build a "scsi y-cable connector" to lead one cable to the inside of the S750
and use a similar setup. As for the power part of it, the ide->scsi card and
the pcmcia reader uses a floppy connector and a HD connector (5volts and 5 +
12 volts). You should be able to get this from the built in power supply.
Kind regards
Daniel

Might just stick DOS on a junkyard old Pentium I've got kicking around
somewhere and stick an oldish Adaptec card in it to get the best of all
worlds..... a lot of hassle though compared to dropping roudn soemone elses
house and copying one disk .....

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
=> Oxford/Abingdon/Didcot/Wantage/Witney let me copy there's... I can
drop
=> 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
=> internal SCSI device in the S750?... I was thinking of getting a
SCSI
=> flash-card reader of some description and sticking a 64Mb card in
there as I
=> would hope it'll be more reliable than a small (old) harddrive..
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
=> samplers then I could plug them both into the same drive as long as
they
=> 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.
Regards,
Nic.
