to quote Declan Murphy: => I am trying to find floppies for my old Roland S-50; alas, my old factory => discs are all corrupted. => => In particular I would love to find the Bass Marimba sample, and the strings => disc. => => Can anyone please point me in the right direction? There was an archive of s50 disks on the sgroup server. I'm sure John will probably have the correct details, but it is probably accessed via sgroup.ca You might have difficulty getting the diskettes which I think for the S-50 have to be DS/DD (I could be wrong). You'll need something to reconstitute the archive files to a floppy. sdisk used to be the standard way but that hasn't been updated since the early 1990's and only runs on MSDOS. There are alternative methods using linux or a mac though. If you can't find any suitable diskettes, ping me on the emaill below. I'm in South Co Dublin and I'm sure I have a stash somewhere that I could dig out. I never had an S-50 but I have an S750 and S770 and I they could definitely read and possibly write S-50/550 disks.
