OS and effects disks and format new hd

[nabberigu]

Tried to call Jim at Tascam. I read several references that he is the goto guy for SX 1. Unfortunately he is doesn't work there any more. I am looking for an OS disk for a SX 1 LE Plus. I have the SX 1 OS disk but I am guessing I cannot use this because of the different drives used. Also I am trying to chase down the disk(s) for the Antares and TC Works effects.
Further more I want to use bigger hd for my Tascam. As I understand a 120 GB drive can be used instead of the 40 GB. I read that formatting needs to be done on a Mac computer.
So here are my requests. Can anybody advise about the OS and effects disk situation? Secondly how do I format a new drive and then install the OS?

If memory serves, the effects come as part of the proper OS disc for the plus and SX-1 models. At least that's how the SX-1s work. As far as I know, the SX-1s will format a drive upon installation if you insert the OS CD into the drive and select the 'erase HD and install operating system' option.

If you PM your address to me I will mail you OS 1.52 for an SX-LE Plus.

I have attached a feature comparison chart for the SX-1 Series Model.

Thanks everybody for advise and especially RussD for sending me the OS disk for the Tascam SX 1 LE PLUS.
After I found out that the "new" old 120 Gb Seagate Barracuda hhd was a SATA and that I needed a IDE to SATA adapter (2 dollars on Ebay) I was finally able to install the new drive and the OS including formatting. So now I have almost 3 times the data available compared to the original 40 Gb hhd and that is quite a bit more comforting to know.
Check out the pictures of the switch.

Congrats, my man! Nice to see a plan come together.
