Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

This is the perfect opportunity to look at the file using either 
debug or MidiOx. Look to see if the files are (1) sysex files 
[F0 . . . F7], (2) files with the sysex wrapper removed, or (3) data 
in a customized format. (Decades ago, I was working on a CZ Patch 
Banker for the C-64 and used a custom file format that had 256 
patches per file.)

MidiOx can show you the data with F0 and F7 colorized.  Debug will 
let you search for patterns (such as F0 44).

What are the sizes of the files?  That can tell you a lot.

I will create a folder called VZ-Temp.  Feel free to upload the files 
in question.  I'd be interested in taking a peek at them. (I love a 
mystery!)
