Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I have had the same problem with my vfxsd for years.  No keyboard.  I have 
been using the sequencer through another controller and the disk drive, 
though.  And I agree getting another one on ebay or in wantads might be the 
best thing.   I picked up a vfx this way that works great--but no disk drive 
on the vfx.  So I currently use it and back up all my presets in cartridges 
and save them to disk on the keyboard-less vfxsd's drive.
I would be interested in restoring the vfxsd, which has been through a lot 
of performances, travel, and general bumping around.  Would like to know 
more about theSoniq.  I also need to get my ESQ-1 fixed, too.  It's a good 
controller keyboard.  Any ideas where to go for help?  Will theSoniq address 
the ESQ-1?  I live in the Northeast---thanks.  Ellen
