I am curious if one might be able to install a zip drive, or compact flash type
reader/writer into the S-550.
Has anyone tried to install anything other than the standard floppy drive into a S-550,
might it be possible?
Also, anyone know about the sequencer software, and dongle for the S-series units. I
believe they are labeled for use with their intended sampler model, but could, and or is
the software, and dongles interchangeable with other models?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

the s series can only communicate to external scsi devices with the
optional scsi adapter board. there is no way to swap out the internal
floppy for some other kind of device without rewriting the system
software and likely extreme circuit mods. i guess there could be some
arcane way of hacking the scsi controller slot, but again, software
rewrite would be part of the equation.

What about the S-770? Mine came without the internal 40 mb (!) drive so I've
been thinking about storage options for some time as I'm growing old of the
floppy loading routine.
On a related note, where can one purchase the Roland CD-Roms these days?
Many thanks
Vic

I've been using my S-760 with an external SCSI ZIP drive for many
years. This is way way faster than floppy.

You can also use SyQuest EZ 135 MB and 230 MB External SCSI Drives, or
