Hi, I've noticed that only disks 1-24 of the Casio FZ Shareware Library are in the files section. Has anyone got access to the remaining disks or the original Casio FL library? I'm looking for the 2 Meg Piano files in particular (think they were disks 68 A & B in the shareware library). Is the process for transferring a 2 Meg file with FZDump the same as a 1 Meg file? Can anyone help out? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I just bought an FZ10M and some of the sound library disks came with it, including the 2 Meg Piano files. Unfortunately, the disk drive on it is in bad shape, and will only load one or two disks out of the set. I don't know if the other disks are bad, or whether it's just some have samples too big to load before the drive has errors. Since the FZ won't load the 2 meg piano, or many of the other disks, I can't do a sample dump to the computer. I do believe however, that I could perhaps make disk images using omniflop. Omniflop claims to have some support for the FZ20M, and I think the only difference between the FZ10M and the 20 is a scsi board. I'll see if I can make a disk image from the disks tonight. If omniflop with format a blank floppy with FZ format, and write a disk image to it, then maybe this will work. --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "discoduncan" <oisin.scarlett@...> wrote:

A couple more questions about FZ: 1.I have tried the FZ utility in FILEs and I get TIMEOUT errors in the software and on the FZ - whilst I'd love to use the one that uses the parallel port -it would be good to even use the MIDI function -since I cannot transfer PC files without this. Does the FTU program actually work - if so - am I doing something wrong? 2.The software suggests REMOTE MODE should be engaged - but these words exist in square brackets in the DEVICE section and there does not seem to be any way to alter this?? --- On Thu, 25/8/11, discoduncan <oisin.scarlett@...> wrote:

I sent all the disk images. Enjoy! I'm pretty sure one of the FZ file utilities stored here in the group can split and/or combine disk files. I don't have a FZ so I haven't ever tried these utilities. --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "discoduncan" <oisin.scarlett@...> wrote:

Thanks again for the images, wasn't expecting such a quick response! --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "narfman96" <narfman96@...> wrote:

To send or receive a file you need to go to select device in the dump menu. set the device to midi (press the m key) and then cursor down to [remote control] you can't make any changes on that line, but you need to have the line selected. then initiate transfer from the fz ftu. As for cables -- I am receiving parts to make my own this weekend. I'll post any success stories. --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, Lee Borrell <templarser@...> wrote:
