Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Excellent suggestion [trim the previous messages]! I used to do this a whole lot more than I do now. It used to bother me (I get digests), but I decided "If you can't beat them, join them."

As for the different 3.5" floppy disk formats, I seem to recall that the read/write heads performed differently in 1.44MB drives than 720KB drives. (I don't remember what the specifics are--width of tracks, current used, etc.)

Thinking about it now, however, it seems that if you cover the 1.44MB disk sensing hole (its not a write protect hole!) and reformat the disk on a 720KB system, I am guessing that would be safer than using the disk with the 1.44MB format. (Not sure exactly what was being suggested.)

Also, while fans of the Atari ST might extoll its virtues, I am not sure buying one is the best advice to get CZ sysex data transfers working. Assuming the problem is not with the CZ itself, a midi interface that does the job would probably have many more uses than an Atari ST. And once that's working, there is Atari ST software that runs under STeem [Atari emulator].
