Dear Mgomes:

Thanks for the instructions. Failed to use SDISK to copy the S330 Utility Disk. After I tried to read the disk, it showed a diskette error: address marked not found.

I also tried to read another disk (S-50 System disk), just to make sure it wasn't the S330 disk which has a problem. Got the same message again.

Any advice?

Alvin.

Alvin,

I don´t know what is wrong; I´ve never received this message...
Are you sure the disks are OK, not damaged? The disks will boot up your samplers?

Dear Mgomes:

I'll try to double check my disk.

Thanks for all your help & advice.

Alvin.

Dear mr. Mgomes.
I have a S-770, and i erase the OS when accidentally format the hard disk. I have read your reply post by Alvin concerning teh OS for the S-770. I can't write the image file in a diskette (message too small/too large appear). I have follow all your recommendation;I use DOS, the wright diskette and i don't work. The file (S770225.out) seems too large for the diskette, it's more than 1.44 meg!!!!

Can you help me
thank's for your answer

I think you have a damaged or incorrect file...
Check the sizes:
S770225.zip (zipped file)172.213 bytes
S770225.out (unzipped)737.280 bytes
This file fits on a double density, 720 Kb floppy disk.
Try downloading again, or if you still have problems, I can email the OS to you.

Mgomes.

Thank's for your answer,
I have check the size of zip and unzip file, it's correct. I have follow your recommendation(Alvin text, before) and i don't know why it's not working. What are the size of the final system file that enable the system disk to boot my S-770? When i try to write with fdisk it's seem that the file is about 1,47 mg (s770225.out). If you have other suggestion, i appreciate them very much because my S-770 is not working at all without this system disk!

Thank's again
R.Doyon

Dear Mgomes:

I read your recent message. Actually, I had the same problem with the disk & never got my S-770 to work. I would be grateful if you would email me the disk too?

Thank you so much.

Alvin.

Dear Mgomes:

I still cannot download it correctly. Can you email me the system disk please? Much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Alvin.

Got rather lost in the 'to and fro' but if anyone is still looking for system software for Roland S770 I will happily mail a copy on floppy...we users need to stick together...we're getting thin on the ground!
