Most of the drives in this guide come in rackmount versions as well as desktop units.
The last page of this guide has the contact information for the companies that can package various drives in rack configurations.
| CD-ROM Drives |
The S-760's System Versions 2.19 - 2.24 have 7 CD audio drivers that will support most CD-ROMs with the
CD-Player function. See the Supplemental Note for information on how to set drivers. If a drive is not on this list, it does not mean it is not compatible. This is a list of tested CD-ROM drives.

| Roland Digital Samplers are not currently compatible with CD-ROM writers or WORM Drives. |
| Hard Drives |
Most SCSI hard drives that are fully compatible with Macintosh computers will work with the 700 Series digital samplers. Our samplers format up to 600MB per drive. Rackmount drives are available from companies listed in Contact Sources on page 4.
Suggested types of Fixed SCSI Hard Drives:
|
| Quantum Seagate Toshiba JVC Maxtor Conner Fujitsu |
| Removable Media Drives |
| SyQuest Mechanisms |
44MB 88MB 105MB 135MB 200MB 270MB
|
| IoMega Mechanisms |
| Bernoulli 150 MB ZIP 100MB & 250MB* Jaz 1 Gigabyte |
The Iomega ZIp and Jaz drives should have system 2.24 for the S-760 and 2.25 for the S-770/750 samplers. The SP-700 will need the 1.12 EEPROM update to support the newer ZIP drives.
* The JS-30 needs ROM version 1.03 to work with Zip 100 drives. The DJ-70MkII needs Operating System 1.02 to work with Iomega Jaz drives. The SP-808 can use both Zip 100 & 250 drives, but can only use the 100Mb disks. We have also been able to use the Zip 250 with the S-550 and W-30 samplers which can format up to 80MB of each cartridge.

MS-1 Memory Cards
The MS-1 Digital Sampler uses the Sandisk type of ATA Type II Flash RAM PCMCIA Cards. These PC cards can be ordered through distributors at the end of this guide.
SP-202 SmartMedia Cards
The SP-202 is compatible with 2 and 4 Meg, 5 volt SmartMedia cards. These SmartMedia cards can be ordered through distributors at the end of this guide or from Roland directly (model # SM-4).

| S-Video |
| The Roland S-760 can be used with TV monitors, A/V Computers and Computer Video capture boards (Mac & IBM compatible) to display its output. The S-760 can supply either S-Video or Color Composite signals. See the Contact Sources list for companies that sell these monitors and boards. The S-770/750 Digital Samplers output their composite signals in black & white only./TD> |
| CD-ROM Writers and Software |
The 700 Series Digital Samplers can not directly address CD-ROM writers, however you can copy a 700 Series Hard drive to a CD-ROM writer by using a computer with CD-ROM premastering software. The list below contains programs that we know to work by making a bit by bit or SCSI device copy of a hard drive to a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM writer compatibility will depend if these drives are supported by the software listed below.
