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.
