RE: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] VFX discs

2001-06-19 by Sixten

Dear Ashe,
yes, the VFX-SD uses normal Double Density 3.5 discs (I often ue High Density disks, but the VFX-system automaticly formats them correctly). Because you often use the same disks over and over again to load and to save it's best to keep backups and use good quality discs. I use the VFX over 10 years now (I bought it the first year it came out) and only had a few disc-failures, so you don't have to worry I guess.
Be sure though it's an SD-version, as the normal VFX doesn't have sequencer and discdrive build in (that's about the difference between the VFX and VFX-SD).
You might also wonder if these discs are windows/dos-compatible : NO. You can't read the disks on your computer. There is one program that can format your discs to use it with your VFX, but don't worry about that right now as it might only confuse you. The discdrive in the VFX-SD formats the disc in it's own particular way.
So to be brief : YES, the VFX-SD uses normal 3.5 discs and they are available everywhere !
