So it can be done, Also I think on Rainer Buchty's site there is info on how to convert a PC floppy for use in the FZ

I tested the FZ with the Alesis - I have the same problem with the Alesis as the PC - the MIDI dump hangs and times out - regardless of whether I have two MIDI leads in to facilitate handshaking. The Alesis has so far worked with the Roland D5 and S10 - the latter solving the forever faulty Quickdisk system which suffers from drive belt deterioration. The FZ has [Remote Mode] set in the brackets and I have seen reference to this before - as far as I can tell this cannot be changed. I have an inkling I have a problem with 'local' versus 'remote' setting - and have a similar problem to: http://www.dancetech.com/item.cfm?threadid=122 Name: Patrick Steemers Email: Email supplied but hidden Activity: part-timer Date: 20-Jan-99Hi, Thanks for the help Stuart and Mike. The audio problem turned out to be caused by changed MIDI settings by one of the sample download programs I tried (but never successfully). My FZ is now in eternal REMOTE mode and volume can only be changed through midi, not local with the slider. I am searching how to reset the FZ into LOCAL mode again. I suspect similarly that I have mine set to REMOTE by some SYSx code and do not know how to get it back to local control.I'd appreciate any help with this,as it may explain why it is hanging with the Alesis.

I just picked up Alesis data disk - don't know if anyone has had any experience with these - but it occurred to me that it is another possible way to solve FZ disk problems - the manual says it supports handshaking.I intend testing it with the FZ to see what happens.
There is an 800k limit on files though which may cause a problem.

After reading the fz data structures it becomes evident that the fz sends in blocks of 1024 with headers. I tried the Alesis on 'receive multiple sysx' (which works with yamaha pss series voice files which have 5 sysx in one transmission) presuming a block might count as 'one sysx message' - alas this did not work either. The manual details the 'remote code' sysx which I presume is the first message sent by a pc when it wants data. I do not recall what my fz said in the square brackets when I first got it, but I am fairly certain it was not 'remote' The previous mail detailed someone saying there's was stuck in 'remote mode' and I do not know if this affects transfers initiated from the fz. I tried sending 'close midi' which is the last thing a pc ought to send after communicating hoping to see a change in the 'remote' status, but nothing altered. I am unaware as to whether anything other than 'remote' is shown in the brackets beneath the device selection, but it seems logically suggestive that some other state should be evident at some point.

There is an indication in the PDF that there seems to be no effect in changing the master volume remotely using sysex, but the fact that a sysex command exists for volume change exists must mean that surely it can be changed. > > Again Sorry I have no help to offer > > https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/electronic-music-instruments-electronic-music-production/398012d1399499930-casio-fz1-questions-fz_fx_syx.pdf > > > >

Thanks all for the feedback. So there is never a state where the brackets ever say anything other than 'remote mode'? Or can it be changed? File Ex works with fz dumps? I believe I have tried all the dumper progs with no success from pc to fz. Sent from my iPhone

Remonte mode can't be change. you have to select the mode and type enter to place the FZ1 in remote mode. In remonte mode you can start the dump from a computer ( load or save ).You can also do a dump in data dump menu if in device menu you have select midi.If i remember correctly you can't do handshake dump with the Alesis.On XP I use File EX to do midi dump.

Yes it can. I have this model Of Gotek instales on My fz10m, First you need to flash it with the special Firmware SM32 Of HXC emulador hxc2001.com. ti install on FZ is easy dusconnect floppy drive and Connect Gotek remember Gotek S0 and M0 pins CLOSED... I use indexed mode of HXC Firmware with pendrive 4gb stored 1000 virtual diskettes on Gotek. DSK0000, 0001, etc... To 999.
