Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Actually - the only disk I would like to transfer is the Optional Software disk since it has all those cool sound designing tools. With a risk of sounding ignorant - I don't really care that much of existing libraries - I'm used making my own sounds.

But you're probably right that I might have to go the PC/Floppy route after all. I think my wife has an old old laptop at her mothers place with a floppy. I'll check it next time I go there.

>Problem us that the disk is a bit wonky - that's why I'm asking (and partly since I don't even have a computer with a floppy in the whole house! - that can of course be arranged, but I thought if someone already have it) - maybe it would be a great idea to upload it to the Files section of the Group. Floppies have a tendency to break after a while.

>>Hi guys! I've just got one of those nifty Lotharek Floppy Emulators (F rev!) that I'm planning to install tomorrow. Only problem is that my Optional Software disk is not entirely healthy - so I wonder if there is anyone here with a Lotharek emulator who can send me a zip or something that I can transfer to the memory card. Would be damn great. Otherwise I'm missing out on all the sweet stuff in the FZ - and that's something I'd rather not do.
