 Hello, I am trying to see if I can find a solution to converting my Roland
 S-760 SCSI to either USB or Firewire so I can connect a drive.

 That's like equipping a rickshaw with a turbojet to get it to go faster. =)

 SCSI Drives are plentiful, just get one of those. Plenty on eBay, they go
 cheap.

 If you wanted to connect your drive to a computer, may I recommend using
 ZipDrives, you can use a SCSI ZipDrive for your S-760 and a USB ZipDrive
 for your computer. Try a 250mb one, that may save you some hassle.

 There are CF Card options, but I'm not too up on that and YMMV, "SCSI"
 card readers and the cards themselves often have compatibility issues. Once
 you get the right ones, though, you're in the clear, if you can find them.
 Stock is often an issue.

 I went zip with my EMU Ultra.
You can get 2 (they are pretty cheap on ebay) just one scsi and one USB or
even parallel (if you system has a parallel port on it) Then I just swap
sounds via a zip disk to the internal HD of the Ultra. (I know it's not a
Roland but same concept) I'm sure whatever PC you are using will have a USB
port. Or you can share it via a network share.

HTH

Good luck,
Rob
