I have many samples saved on Iomegs and Syquest drives. I want to save them to CD for back up....I there any software which allows Windows 98 to see the data on these drives and then write to my CDRW.?

awave studio should work with the s760 i know it worked with my s550 & s330. but i just used floppys and a rackmount hard drive.
from what i remember the s760 will interface directly with a computer thru scsi. can't you just hook up your sampler and all your drives and the computer in a scsi chain and point you cd burner to the files you want to back up ?
anyway just useing sdisk and floppys worked for me and is actually how i made all my CDs.
great thing about win98 & sdisk that is not in the help or faq for sdisk is that it works with win98 and you don't have to boot to dos. if you didnt allready know sgroup is a roland sampler user group. they have sdisk there for free. i was pretty sure all roland sampler users were useing sdisk by now

Dj, how did you make your CD with SDISK. I've only used SDISK to make floppies. The interface isn't as convenient as AKAI DISK for example, but it's definitely usable.

Please Dj, tell us how you used SDISK to make the CD. Did you copy the floppy .OUT files and then burn those DOS encrypted .OUT files to CD? Please explain.

yes, epu, exactly, 1 floppy at a time. when i started collecting and espcilly makeing my own samples i didnt have a cd burner or a hard drive for my s550. i was just backing up my floppys on my pcs hard drive. then i got a scsi hd for the s550 and scsi cd/rw drive. . .i dont know if the cd will work directly with the scsi port on my s550 i havent tried it. i guess it would work if i formated the cd on the s550 first and the copied the floppy files onto the cd from the computer. not with sdisk just drag and drop with explorer and easy cd creator. i dont know for sure im just guessing, sounds like it should work tho.
1 big difference between the 550 and the 760 is that the 760 supports chained scsi so with a 760 you may be able to load directly off the computer. i dont have a 760(yet, or a 770 would be great too) so i dont know if this is true or just wishfull thinking but i thought i read in the sgroup archives somewere that it did work that way.
