Well let me know what you find. The S20 has no ROM based sounds so all
was loaded at and during performance via floppy. These floppies are
roughly the size of a Minidisc. As the diskette was attempting to be read
I adjusted the head height and immediately the disk started to load. I
went back and adjusted the other two axis adjustments by sight to make
sure the head rode true on the surface.

I did not try an ex-PC FD in the Roland.
Noted the type as in the Roland as
Panasonic JU 257A 726P, not researched it, as the green FD front panel LED
was not lit before fiddling and did come on after fiddling and with it

I once installed a PC DVDRW in a stand alone DVD recorder. However

Knowing this to work one would assume that a standard 34 pin floppy would
interchange regardless of the unit.
