when casio was the first 16bit sampler and to provide 1.44mb drives every
one else was still using 720k drives

until the akai did the s1000

the interface that casio used was the shugart but the old standard 5.25"
drives spec so there drive was a special as it used the 360 speed drive

pc was always 300 as is most other drives

a lot of the older drives can be made to go to the 360 speed

but kroyflex make a raw image of the disk which has been interpreted by the
hfc floppy emulator and works great
