The FD235S is a standard FD235 with a floppy-to-SCSI adapter 
installed. I seem to recall that a lot of the basic formatting is 
hard-coded into the adapter.    At any rate, I recall that we 
discarded the 235S as a candidate for an external drive for diskette 
conversion. They may well suffer from the same limitations as 3.5" 
USB drives--a very short list of formats that are supported.

ISTR that Sun used the 235S drives for a time, so they're probably 
still obtainium.  But, in comparison to the standard 235HF drives, 
they were very pricey.
