Re: Casio FZ floppy replacement - any sucess?

2008-05-06 by jboltnz

Good News!

I enquired a few days ago to www.Route66studios.com, who make 
replacement drives for every other vintage synth, to see if they had 
any intention of making a FZ replacement.

I got the following reply from Andy the shipping mangager

"We are working on the FZ-1 drive now, keep posted"

Not very expansive, but its the best news regarding these infernal 
drives Ive had for a while.

My tech has had a couple of cracks at Bucty's solution, but without 
success. I know that other people have pulled it off, but I think 
theres some subtle jigsaw peice of information missing. 

Anyway since Route66 seem to be able to offer new drives for around 
$75.00 US, it may not be a problem in the long run.

If you are keen on these replacement units, maybe you can also 
contact them to give them encouragement and give them an idea of 
demand.
