Hello,
just saw that this USB Drive
USB FAT32 720KB SSD Floppy Drive Emulator For Machine Control
http://r.ebay.com/IzmFyK
was successfully used to replace the floppy drive in Yamaha SY99
synthesizers.
A handmade cable adapter was necessary though.
I wonder if anyone tried to use this to replace the floppy drive in a
Roland S330 or S550.
Thanks,
Franz

New subject: S550 and SCSI supported drives
I just got a S550 with SCSI, and I hooked up a SCSI CD-ROM Drive to it (Toshiba XM-5701B,
very common and workable with lots of samplers), with a S550 CD-ROM. When I do the HD
Connection test, I get the Step 2 getting NG. (I suppose that means No Good).
I do the same thing with a ZipDrive, and I get the same error. This is a different drive,
different media, and different SCSI cable. And in the CD-ROM case, and the ZipDrive case,
they work very well with other non-S550 units. And I tried several ZipDrives, several
ZipDisk, and several cables. Nothing.
The manual says that the Harddisk - Step 2 error is because "The external connector
and the harddisk are not securely connected or there is something wrong with the
harddisk." But that doesn't seem true. The Interface - Step 1 and 2, and
Harddisk - Step 1 succeed, but not Harddisk Step 2.
What would you think is the problem?

Hello Garth
I use a Zip100 with my S550 ID SCSI is set to 5 on the Zip;the OS: CD-5 SYS 1.02
I don't know the firmware version of my Zip (but i you need this info tell me )
I use the menu Drive->setup and set Hard Disk ID to 5
CD-5=off
I the Zip go to sleep I use HD restart in Drive->Setup->Com-> HD restart
You cant do SCSI check in Drive->Setup->Com-> SCSI Check
The S550 (I/F) is on ID 7
I haven't find a cd-rom drive that work but they are recognize during the boot.
Regards
Paul
