I have a Triton Pro and have managed to obtain a scsi interface card for it recently. So this is really my first dive into the scsi storage on this. Fact is the floppy isnt going to last and I really still love my triton.
Now that I can connect something to it, Im not sure where to start now since the technology is so old.
Can i connect the latest and greatest scsi drives to this? If so what do I need to know regarding the cable, adapters and such? I also want to be able to connect this external drive to a pc to back it up, so that means being able to find a scsi to usb cable to connect to my laptop or obtain a pci or pci-x card in my desktop. At this point there seems to be so much in scsi to understand. I also want to be in the best solution in the event of a hard drive failure that I can easiely find a drive replacement (newer the type the longer it will be available).
What is the best option right now?

1. Make sure your OS is the latest. Once that's done, you'll never need the floppy again.
2. I just ordered this: http://www.scsiforsamplers.com/cfcard.asp which replaces the floppy. It gives you up to 4GB (per card) which is probably more storage than you'll ever need and it loads faster than anything on the market. I highly recommend it.
Otherwise, I use SCSI ZIP and CD-ROM drives with mine. They work fine...

Thanks for the feedback. Let me know how that works for you and maybe provide a review. I would be interested to know how it connects to your SCSI interface given that port is on the outside of the system and it not that close to where the floppy is. I didn't see any pictures illustrating the install process. Also i cant tell what type of media card this takes, there are several types. Are these media cards easy to find? Photos of how you installed would be great 
I'm still open to hear more suggestions of the options available so I can figure out the best path.

It takes a CF card up to 4 GB. With the Triton cable kit, it piggy backs with your external SCSI port so you still have it. When completed, your Triton won't look any different on the outside and the cable routing follows where the floppy went.
Feel free to give them a call. He's a very nice guy and VERY helpful. I must have called and emailed him a dozen times asking how it installs, whether I'll lose my external port, etc and he was nice every step of the way. Tell him that you heard about it from a guy who just bought it and he'll know it was me. I don't get a kickback or anything, I'm just excited to see new products that make the Triton better. AND it's very cheap considering the alternatives or if you wanted to build it yourself.
I bought it (and found out about it) based on this thread: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=43989
Others I know have used him and spoke highly of his products.
