Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I've had mine for 10 years now.  And I have literally beat the 
living daylights out of it.  It's been left on for weeks at a time, 
played in Sub Zero Temperatures, Dropped several times, thrown 
(once), Constant transportation, Daily pounding use for 10 years.  
The power supply does get hot, but mine has never caused me any 
problems, well, one time the OS got corrupted somehow, and it would 
blow a fuse everytime I tried to load stuff from disk, but once I 
got the OS re-loaded (this was about 7 years ago)  with a new OS 
disk, I haven't had a single problem.  Nothing holds up like this 
thing has, I've been really amazed at the thing holding up not only 
durability wise for 10 years, but as far as sound quality wise.  
I've been wanting an 88 Key replacement, but even then, I'm still 
not putting this thing away, it's been with me a long long time, and 
has been a really good friend despite how much I've abused it.
