Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: How do you load disks into an SD1 that has no disk slot?

2004-01-18 by Ralph Stokes

Maybe, if the only problem was the Disk drive, putting a new one in may 
work, but if the problem is in the motherboard, and the previous owner 
removed the drive, and replaced it with the the infil, then it may not 
repair.

Also, you may want to try and find out..
A> Is your SD-1 really an SD-1, or an early VFX transplanted into an 
SD-1 box.
B> If you remove the panel where the disk drive should be, or access it 
somehow from inside, is there a plug that plugs into a disk drive.

Note the drive is double density double side (Not high density)
