To be honest : no idea.
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.
