Here's a link to what looks like the whole set of FZ factory disks:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4797433/FZ10-M.zip




I apologize if it's actually some alien worm but I've downloaded it and
unzipped it and have a stack of FZ 20M formatted floppies standing by so
I'll be the first to go if it all goes wrong.
Cheers,
Paul T

There are pages of public domain FZ sounds out there but of course I didn't
come across any searching just now. I think it would be great to have a file
section where floppy files can be uploaded and downloaded. It does a lot to
extend the lives of some of these synths to have ready access to to a bunch
of public domain sounds. I've been downloading floppy files for Kawai K5000
series sounds and Yamaha SY 99 sounds and it's great. I have many of the
Casio factory disks for the FZ samplers which I got from a member of
Queensryche strangely enough.

I didn't know it had previously been up for sale. Looks like the winning
bidder did the rather too common thing of backing out of the winning bid.
Still, for 20 quid a midi keyboard with velocity and after-touch is
somewhat a bargain, even if it weights as much as the QE2!









And here's another CT6000 up for sale, this time for our American friends:
